New York City, NY (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- Matchifieds.com and The Jewish Week
today announced that they have formed a strategic alliance that will see the two
companies expand their relationship to encompass projects related to

Week will leverage Matchifieds’ Classified Platform to develop and deploy an

relationship with Matchifieds, and what we believe to be an important step
forward to updating our classifieds web presence," said The Jewish Week’s
Associate Publisher Rich Waloff.
"The Jewish Week has recognized the
potential of Matchifieds’ user-friendly Classifieds Platform," added Waloff.
"Our most recent work has focused on strategies to package many of our

our classifieds but also enhances our advertisers’ presence. With the
Matchifieds.com Platform, we believe we have an innovative, easy-to-use system
that benefits our readers and our advertisers.”
"Matchifieds is very
excited to see strong commitment from The Jewish Week for our platform. The
Jewish Week is widely recognized and respected as the voice of the Jewish
