Interactive Week adds Healthnotes Inc. to Interactive 500

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Interactive Week magazine has named Healthnotes Inc. one of its Interactive 500, the publication's listing of the top 500 companies ranked according to the amount of Web-based revenue each has generated. The list was published in the magazine's Nov. 13 issue.

Healthnotes is the only Interactive 500 company that produces science-based information software on healthy living and aging. Healthnotes has licensed its Healthnotes Online software to more than 35 health-related Web sites and more than 6,500 retail sites worldwide through information kiosks. These kiosks are supplied either by Healthnotes or through its strategic partner, NCR Corporation.

According to Interactive Week editor John McCormick, this year's list includes more bricks-and-mortar companies than ever before. "No longer are dot-coms with big plans driving the market," McCormick said. "Now it's the more traditional firms -- the more established retailers, manufacturers, and services companies -- fueling the engines of the Internet business machine."

Earlier this year, the Smithsonian Institution honored Healthnotes and Healthnotes Online for technical innovation as part of the 2000 Computerworld Smithsonian Program. Healthnotes Online is now part of the Permanent Research Collection on Information Technology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
