MiracleMind, Inc. (MiracleMind.com) and the U.S. Internet Industry Association (USIIA.org) announce their plan to work in partnership to provide interactive multimedia learning programs as a public service to an audience of nearly 100,000 targeted customers who are not currently Internet-enabled.

Dennis C. Hayes (DennisCHayes.com), Chairman of the Board of the U.S. Internet Industry Association (USIIA) and inventor of the Hayes Smartmodem, indicated that a joint project with MiracleMind to educate and raise adoption of the Internet for those who are hesitant to transact over the Internet would be a positive development for the industry.

"Reaching out to hundreds of thousands of potential new Internet participants with the independent voice for which USIIA is known will help build a solid base for the Internet industry in Washington. We believe that MiracleMind is well suited to helping us achieve that goal.", Mr. Hayes was recently quoted as saying.

MiracleMind and the USIIA will work together over the coming months to provide a body of content in the most useful subject areas for the target audience, such as consumer protection, technology-related courses and healthcare. MiracleMind and the USIIA will distribute the public service learning program in a marketing campaign that leverages national media channels through Media4Equity and consumer ISPs.

MiracleMind consumer surveys have indicated that as many as 5% of the respondents to this campaign will contribute to MiracleMind's revenue by contracting for consulting and/or purchasing related educational products. In addition, MiracleMind will benefit from advertising revenue generated from the campaign.

MiracleMind Investor Update: Fall 2008

"The Impasse of Economics" is an apt theme for the season, and the subject of our Fall 2008 Newsletter. Most of today's economic thought is based on the notion of undifferentiated growth. The idea that growth can be obstructive, unhealthy, or pathological is not entertained. What we urgently need, therefore, is differentiation and qualification of the concept of growth. MiracleMind is focused on the learning needs of a rapidly emerging culture; one that is resourceful, intelligent, holistic, sustainable and community-oriented.

In this issue, you'll learn about the following:

• A sane look at the current economic insanity
• The Liberal-Conservative media hype is divisive, obsolete and grossly inaccurate
• MiracleMind's new business model showcase
• Post-election Democrats have been better for Wall Street
