Los Angeles, CA. October 15, 2008 — San Francisco based Technorati has acquired AdEngage, an advertising network based in Los Angeles. The AdEngage platform will remain a free standing, branded service, and Technorati will also launch a version of the platform under its new Technorati Media brand.

AdEngage ( www.adengage.com ) operates a major online advertising network that displays ads on more than 4,500 websites and works with thousands of advertisers to display over 13 billion ads every month. The network acts as an exchange between advertisers and publishers.

Technorati ( www.technorati.com ) is a search engine service launched in June 2002.   The service allows one to find the most relevant results on all media including blogs, photos, videos and audio files.

"David Siemer was always with us from the start to finish of a complex sales process that resulted in an excellent outcome for both the acquiring and selling party.   He helped keep us focused, offered excellent advice when we reached road blocks and deftly navigated the transaction to the close," said John Marston, Chief Executive Officer of AdEngage.
