SOUTH NORWALK, CT, August 14, 2000 — EDGAR Online’s (NASDAQ: EDGR) flagship Web site (www.edgar-online.com) was recognized by WORTH Magazine readers as the Best Online Research Web site in their Second Annual Readers’ Choice Survey. In the upcoming September issue, over 4,000 WORTH subscribers rated the best financial and consumer services and products, choosing EDGAR Online as a category winner along with other category winners such as Quote.com (Nasdaq: LCOS), RagingBull.com (Nasdaq: CMGI), and Yahoo!
