Press Release Body: POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC - April 21, 2008,
Investorideas.com and www.TechSectorStocks.com, a Technology Stocks Investor Portal
within Investorideas.com, report on Technology companies that enable small business
owners. To be competitive in the marketplace small business owners require services,
software and products that allow them to have access to the support and expertise of
a larger company, but at an affordable price. Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc., (OTCBB:
GOCH ), Vocus Inc. (NasdaqGM: VOCS), Dell Inc. HP, RCN Business Services and others,
comment on how they fill the technology gap for small business owners .

Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: GOCH) has built its brand around providing
on-site service and solutions for small business owners that save both time and
money. Richard T. Cole, CEO of Geeks On Call, recently noted , "We provide virtually
every computer service that a customer could need, from networking to upgrades, to
firewall protection. The gap that we fill best is providing organizations without
the resources for an in-house IT department, cost effective solutions that provide
the same caliber of IT services that typically would be found in a larger business.
We can actually become the small business partner and trusted adviser."

According to Bill Wagner, CMO at Vocus, Inc. (NasdaqGM: VOCS), a company that
provides on-demand software for public relations management, "Today's PR is becoming
part of an integrated sales and marketing strategy which, when used correctly, has
the potential to drive sales and increase company revenue. With limited budgets and
resources to dedicate to PR, small businesses face major challenges in generating
publicity and reaching potential customers. Until now, agencies, newswire services
and PR management software were all designed for companies with bigger budgets.
Vocus SBE offers small companies access to PR tools, redesigned and priced
specifically to meet their needs. Smaller organizations can now create online news
releases that are available to millions of consumers and websites, indexed by major
search engines and distributed in two targeted daily news digests."

HP (Market, News ) recently announced HP Upline, a new subscription service that
provides consumers and small businesses the security of knowing their digital world
is protected in a secure, offsite location in case their local PC gets lost, stolen,
damaged or destroyed. HP is offering both consumers and small business customers a
limited plan at no cost for one year.

"With increasingly more personal and business content being housed on PCs, the
easy-to-use and affordable HP Upline service protects and shares everything from
memories in digital photos to critical business documents," said Ulf Claesson, vice
president and general manager, Personal Systems Group, HP. "HP Upline delivers tools
for a differentiated and more personal experience from a vendor consumers and small
businesses can trust."

RCN Corporation (Market, News ), a leading provider of video, data, and voice
services to residential, small business and commercial customers, recently stated ,
\"Many small businesses lack IT support and the technical expertise afforded by
larger businesses,\" said Brad Martin, RCN Business Services Sr. Director of
Marketing and Operations. \"When confronted with a technical problem, the business
owner or manager needs to become the resident expert, IT manager and CTO. This means
less time focused on running the business - even worse, it can mean critical systems
down time that translates into measurable loss.\"

\"Even when a local resource is available to a small business, it often means
spending time standing in line or having a local representative on premise to solve
the problem, said RCN Business Services Senior Vice President and General Manager
John Baker. \"RCN\'s Enhanced Care shortens solution time and prevents service fees
being charged while the problem remains unresolved.\"

Dell Inc. (Market, News), a global leader in the design, development, manufacturing
, marketing, sales, and support of computer systems and services remarks as part of
their positioning with small business, \"Listening to customers and acting quickly on
their feedback to improve our products and services sets Dell apart,\" said Frank
Muehleman, VP and general manager, Dell Small and Medium Business.

The bottom line for small business owners choosing their technology service provider
or product will come down to customer service, ease of execution, cost and ongoing
support.
