EDGAR® ONLINE TO DEMONSTRATE POWER, SPEED AND DEPTH OF ITS I•METRIX XBRL DATA AT BLUE RIBBON HEDGE FUND CONFERENCE

NORWALK, Conn. -- SEPTEMBER 24, 2007 -- EDGAR® Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGR) the leader in XBRL data processing, extraction and conversion announced today that the company and Renaissance Capital will be demonstrating its I-Metrix XBRL financial data to leading hedge fund managers at the upcoming Blue Ribbon Hedge Fund Conference in Greenwich, CT. Following on the heels of the recent earnings season in which EDGAR Online converted the SEC filings of all US filing companies into the XBRL format in a few hours, the presenters will show how I-Metrix delivers the fastest access to company financial information.

Robert Krugman, Senior Vice President of Product Development, and Samuel J. Snyder, Research Analyst for Renaissance Capital, will use I-Metrix to illustrate the power EDGAR Online's interactive XBRL data can provide to financial analysts and managers.

"Information powers the hedge fund industry." said Philip Moyer, President and CEO of EDGAR Online. "Decisions need to be made based upon data that's fast, accurate and reliable. With I-Metrix, we are able to condense access time for company financials down to as little as 15 minutes after the SEC filing for some companies, and in no more than 6 hours for all others."

By leveraging XBRL technology EDGAR Online is able to deliver greater speed and depth of information to its clients. XBRL is a global, open standard for financial reporting that the SEC's Chairman Cox has been actively promoting to bring greater transparency to investors. EDGAR Online was an early adopter of XBRL and as a result has built the only complete XBRL database in the world for US filing companies.
