      WebSideStory, Inc. (Nasdaq:WSSI), a leading provider of real-time 
      customer intelligence solutions, today announced it has been named as a 
      finalist for the 2007 Codie Awards presented by the Software & 
      Information Industry Association (SIIA). WebSideStory was recognized in 
      the Best Enterprise Search Engine category for its new WebSideStory 
      Search 4.0 with Active Browsing product.
    
    
      “After winning in the same category last year, 
      WebSideStory is honored to be recognized as a finalist for the second 
      year running,” said Brian Sullivan, senior 
      vice president and general manager of search and content solutions. “This 
      significant acknowledgment publicly affirms the continued advancement of 
      our site search solution and our leadership in incorporating new 
      technologies into our products that deliver measurable results for our 
      customers.”
    
    
      WebSideStory received this distinguished recognition for its 
      WebSideStory Search 4.0 product with the patent-pending Active Browsing 
      capability. The product leverages Ajax, a Web 2.0 technology, to create 
      a “clickless browsing experience,” 
      enabling search users to preview product facet information and “more 
      like this” categories just by rolling their 
      mouse over specific search results. This industry-first release delivers 
      greatly enhanced speed and interactivity, and an improved visitor 
      experience overall.
    
    
      “The 2007 Codie Finalists represent real 
      winners, even at this stage in the contest,” 
      said Ken Wasch, SIIA president. “Competition 
      is fiercer than ever and that makes selection as a Codie Finalist a 
      major achievement. All the companies on this year’s 
      list should feel justifiably proud of their recognition.”
    
    
      The Codie Awards celebrate achievement and vision in software, education 
      technology and digital content. This year's finalists were chosen from 
      more than 1,200 nominations submitted by more than 600 companies –

      Awards Gala on April 17, 2007 in San Francisco, Calif.
