BOISE, ID -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/10/08 -- Hot Web, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HWBI) announced today that the Company is initiating an in-network advertising program that is designed to generate revenues for Hot Web through the sale of 3rd party advertising on Hot Web branded sites, most notably www.hotautoweb.com.

George Stevens, Chairman of Hot Web, Inc., commented, "The level of unique user traffic to our flagship site has reached impressive levels in recent months, far outpacing web traffic for sites representing several much larger and well established brands in other markets. Recently, the respected rating site Quantcast (www.quantcast.com) has shown that web traffic for HotAutoWeb in the month of March 2008 exceeded 6.7 Million unique visitors, resulting in HotAutoWeb being ranked in the top 248 websites worldwide. No doubt, that is big-time traffic." He continued, "Because of the quality of the vehicles we feature -- we have the hottest rides on the internet -- and our unparalleled reputation in the worldwide community of fine auto enthusiasts, we are getting a great number of 'window shoppers,' most of whom have no intent of buying a car, but enjoy looking. As such, it became plainly evident that we needed to monetize that traffic. This in-network advertising initiative is the answer."

LAKEWOOD, NJ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/10/08 -- Silverado Financial, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SLVO) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mediatechnics Systems Inc., has entered into a joint venture with digital media innovator, Get Digital Data, LLC to bring industrial quality CD and DVD encoding solutions to dealers and service providers worldwide.

Founded in 1988 by top industry professionals, Mediatechnics is a preeminent manufacturer of robotic CD and DVD Duplication Systems. Get Digital Data has harnessed the power of Mediatechnics loaders with Encode Center CD/DVD encoding software and GD3 metadata.

"This joint venture positions Mediatechnics at the forefront of an important new market for automated solutions for dealers who serve the rapidly growing demand for media servers."

The introduction of media servers that can store and play audio and video content in custom installed Home Theater and Automation systems has created an ever increasing demand for Ultra-High Quality Metadata. Either the end-users or the dealers who install these systems must convert large collections from discs to server compatible digital files. Encode Center powered Mediatechnics loaders can process hundreds of discs at once, allowing a cost effective means of loading servers for their clients.

"Encode Center powered Mediatechnics loading systems featuring immaculate GD3 Metadata provide what we believe to be the highest quality metadata available on the market today. We believe that this combination provides what end-users demand," stated Nick Carter, Get Digital's V.P. of Sales and Marketing.

Through the MTI/GD3 joint venture, Encode Center will now be bundled on all Mediatechnics branded loaders, and will be available as a free download for the thousands of existing Mediatechnics customers. Per CD/DVD lookup fees for GD3 metadata are shared, creating usage-based royalty revenue for Mediatechnics.

April 10, 2008 - Pop N Go Marks 15th Consecutive Trading Day on the SEC's Regulation SHO Threshold List

WHITTIER, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/10/08 -- Pop N Go, Inc. (OTCBB: POPN) yesterday appeared on the Regulation SHO threshold list for the 15th consecutive trading day.

The Regulation SHO threshold list, mandated by the SEC, is an attempt to curb abuses with naked short selling. Published daily by the stock exchanges, the list contains the names of Companies whose stock broker dealers have failed to deliver stock sold in quantities above a calculated threshold. The SEC has stated: "Naked short selling can have a number of negative effects on the market, particularly when the fails to deliver persist for an extended period of time and result in a significantly large unfulfilled delivery obligation at the clearing agency where trades are settled."

"A number of our major shareholders, along with Pop N Go, intend to get to the bottom of this continued failure to deliver shares bought by honest shareholders. If Pop N Go finds that this has been an illegal attempt to manipulate the price of our stock, a violation of securities laws, or a breach of any contract; then Pop N Go will pursue redress and punishment by all means available. We have made the SEC aware of this apparent naked short selling which could be designed to artificially depress the share price of POPN in order to financially benefit those who would stand to gain from this illegal market tactic. In addition to working with regulators to help curb this perceived abuse, our Company has consulted with private securities counsel to determine how civil litigation could help recoup the millions of dollars in shareholder value that have been lost as a result of this potentially egregious naked short selling," said Mel Wyman, Pop N Go's CEO.

April 10, 2008 - CLX Investment Company Files Definitive 14C Regarding Name Change to CLX Medical, Inc.

MURRIETA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/10/08 -- CLX Investment Company, Inc. (OTCBB: CLXN), which owns 51% of Zonda, Incorporated, a developer and manufacturer of unique diagnostic tests for the medical and non-medical markets, today announced that the company has filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting majority shareholder approval on a proposal to change the company's name to CLX Medical, Inc.

According to the information statement, the change to the company's name will most likely result in a change to the company's ticker symbol and CUSIP number.

Shareholders will not be required to tender their shares for re-issuance; however, shares that are submitted to the transfer agent for whatever reason will be reissued under the new name and CUSIP number.

At a special meeting of shareholders held on April 8, 2008 at the company's corporate offices in Murrieta, California, principal shareholders, who collectively represented 280,714,929 shares, or 60%, of the 470,035,668 shares of common stock outstanding on April 8, 2008, were either present at the meeting or voted in absentia. All of the principal shareholders voted in favor of the proposal. Accordingly, no proxies will be solicited.

Of the total outstanding common stock of the company as of the record date of the filing, 220,000,000 shares were held in an escrow account to prevent the resale without consent of CLX Investment Company. While the shares are in escrow, the shares are voted by the chairman of CLX Investment Company's Board of Directors.

CLX's Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution seeking shareholder approval to amend the articles of incorporation to change the company's name to CLX Medical, Inc. The Board believes that the name change is in the company's best interests in that it more accurately reflects its current focus and its expected future as a leader in the launch of medical diagnostic testing products. CLX is currently preparing to initiate clinical trials for Zonda's HandiLab-C test for Chlamydia as part of the process to achieve FDA clearance for the product. With FDA clearance, CLX will seek to achieve widespread distribution for the HandiLab-C within the U.S., as well as broader distribution into worldwide markets.

In addition to Zonda's chlamydia product, CLX recently announced that the company has identified a rapid diagnostic device for the medical market that it has targeted for potential acquisition. As additional due diligence and negotiations are undertaken, the company expects to enter into an initial agreement in the form of a letter of intent for the acquisition of the device. CLX has stated as its core focus to seek additional products and technologies for the company to become involved with as they are presented.

"Management is pleased to move forward with the CLX name change, so that the company can be more closely identified with its core focus in the medical industry," commented Vera Leonard, chief executive officer of Zonda and CLX. "We expect the next several weeks to bring a number of additional announcements advancing the story of CLX, as it supports the launch of the Zonda chlamydia product and pursues the acquisition of an additional rapid diagnostic device that it has targeted for acquisition. Operating as CLX Medical, Inc. will provide very real branding advantages for the company in the public markets as it moves forward with these core initiatives."
