 CERTIFICATIONS
 
 I,
        MICHAEL Y. BRENT, certify that:
 
 1.I
        have
        reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of YTB International, Inc.(successor
        to REZconnect Technologies, Inc.):
 
 2.Based
        on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement
        of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
        statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were
        made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this annual report;
        and
 
 3.Based
        on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
        included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects
        the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant
        as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report.
 
 4.The
        Registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing
        and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
        Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting
        (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the Registrant
        and we have:
 
 a.
        Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
        controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision,
        to ensure that material information relating to the Registrant,
        including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
        by
        others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
        this quarterly report is being prepared.
 
 b.
        Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
        control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,
        to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
        financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
        purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures;
 
 c.
        Evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures
        and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness
        of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
        the
        period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
  d.
        Disclosed in this report any changes in the Registrant's internal control
        over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's most
        resent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the
        case
        of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
        likely to material affect, the Registrant's internal control over
        financial reporting and
 
 5.
        The
        Registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most
        recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the Registrant's
        auditors and the audit committee of the Registrant's board of directors
        (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
 
 a.
        All
        significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
        of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably
        likely to adversely affect the Registrant's ability to record,
        process, summarize and report financial information; and
 
 b.
        Any
        fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
        who have a significant role in the Registrant's internal controls
        over financial reporting.
