Kansas City, MO June 27, 2008 -- uclick CEO Douglas Edwards, was recently featured in the Kansas City Business Journal for his move from the mobile media giant Handmark, Inc. to head the smaller digital content provider, uclick.

Prior to uclick, Doug Edwards was the executive vice president and CMO of Handmark, Inc., which he co-founded in 2000. Handmark is a leading developer and distributor of mobile games and applications for devices including Blackberry®, Palm® Treo™, Symbian™, and Windows Mobile® devices. Edwards was one of the chief architects behind the creation of the Handmark flagship mobile service, Pocket Express®, which launched in 2004 and is now on millions of handsets around the world.

"We have this whole constellation of digital opportunities," Edwards said of his move to uclick. "Because of the very characteristics of the medium, there are new things you would never imagine doing if you were simply confined to print."

uclick is the largest packager and distributor of comics and word games on the Web, and syndicates the highly sought-after work of more than 100 content creators. uclick's content offering includes Garfield, Doonesbury, Cathy, FoxTrot, News of the Weird, The Motley Fool, Dear Abby, Universal Crossword and many other top-quality comic strips, games and text features. uclick delivers content to hundreds of clients, including major consumer and news portals, including Yahoo!, MSNBC.com, washingtonpost.com, CNNi and hundreds of others.

uclick was formerly Universal New Media, the digital media division of Andrews McMeel Universal -- the largest independent newspaper syndicate in the world and an emerging leader in book and calendar publishing and gift and stationery merchandising.
