SANTA BARBARA, CA June 26, 2007

EarthLink Customers Can Now Cost-effectively Extend Business Reach with Online Demos, Meetings and Large Events

Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS), announced today that EarthLink (Nasdaq: ELNK) will expand its offering of Citrix Online solutions by enabling small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) and small office/home office (SOHO) users to collaborate, conduct meetings and host events online utilizing Citrix® GoToMeeting® and Citrix® GoToWebinar™ solutions.

Since 2002, EarthLink has offered business customers Citrix® GoToMyPC®, which enables the ISP’s customers to remotely access their full PC desktops from any Web browser.

“By expanding EarthLink’s business offerings through these Citrix Online services, we offer subscribers more flexibility to better communicate with offsite employees, customers and clients,” said Jonathan Young, EarthLink’s vice president of software, subscriptions and services. “These real time communication tools enable small businesses to compete more effectively against larger competitors.”

GoToMeeting allows anyone with a PC and Internet browser to host or attend an online meeting in seconds. Once all invited attendees are in the meeting, the presenter can instantly share any file or application on the desktop, change presenters, or give keyboard and mouse control to an attendee. All You Can Meet™ flat-fee pricing makes this service highly cost-effective.

GoToWebinar is the only online event product purpose-built for do-it-yourself Webinars and the easiest-to-use online event product on the market. Its All You Can Reach™ pricing enables customers to conduct unlimited Webinars with up to 1,000 attendees each for one low price.

“These solutions enable EarthLink to add a visual and interactive dimension to the way the ISP’s business customers can communicate,” said Mike Mansbach, vice president of product marketing and business development at Citrix Online. “Our online services can make a huge difference in the business reach and efficiency of small organizations and, ultimately, in their growth and success.”

EarthLink customers can sign up for GoToMeeting and/or GoToWebinar to receive a 30-day free trial of each service.
