TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - January 5, 2009) - Anything Brands Online, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ANYT) announced today that its Anything Trucker Division (www.anythingtrucker.com) has its Freight Auction Network operational, anticipating increased revenue as a result of its expanded commercial transportation service offerings in 2009! Anything Trucker has targeted the $165 billion Trucking Industry as a primary market for its products and services.

Tim Norton, President of Anything Trucker, Inc., stated, "Anything Trucker provides products and services that position us very well in 2009 as an online provider of products and services for all our customers in this strategic market. We are confident that the new auction site offers both carriers and shippers real opportunity to develop more efficient operations. Our Freight Shares Network Program is another example of services offered in the LTL sector and we are currently having discussions with another supplier of services for the Truckload sector, both of which will become significant players within our Anything Trucker network as we move into the first quarter of this year. Norton also states that in these difficult economic times, there is an opportunity to step out front as a provider of 'back-office' technical services that can be provided on a 3rd party basis to transportation companies struggling to stay afloat. Our future business expansion will be mindful of that fact, and, we have several very promising opportunities for expansion in those areas and expect to do so early this year."

Anything Brands Online previously announced that its Board of Directors approved a dividend distribution to shareholders of record as of February 15, 2009. Shareholders holding in excess of one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of ANYT Common Stock on that date will receive (1) share of ANYT Common Stock for every (10) shares of ANYT stock held on February 15, 2009.

For example, if an ANYT shareholder had 500,000 shares of ANYT stock and held it through February 15, 2009, that shareholder would receive 50,000 shares of restricted ANYT common stock as a dividend payment.
