Meteor Investment, Thoughtshare, Demonstrates Working Prototype of New Internet Web Browsing Organizer
Vancouver, B.C., Canada—ThoughtShare Communications (TSCI), an investment of Meteor Technologies, has successfully demonstrated a working, proof-of-concept prototype of its new Internet web browsing organizer, called ThoughtShare.
TSCI is developing the prototype into a user-friendly Internet software program. TSCI believes that its product will "enhance user interactions with the Internet by making it easier for users to structure and share information gathered during an online session with popular web browsers." The company is expected to launch the commercial version of the program next Spring.
The prototype version, completed a week ahead of schedule, was shown to the directors and management of Meteor and ThoughtShare at TSCI's Vancouver headquarters September 29. Its methods of accomplishing its tasks are covered by non-disclosure agreements for competitive reasons, and so no technical details can yet be released.
However, Meteor Technologies' technology director Fred Fabro said following the 45-minute demonstration he was "pleased and impressed" with the way the program accomplished its ability to track, organize, annotate and share information gathered during an online session in the course of the demonstration. The prototype was running on a normally configured PC computer and working with a major web browser, but it is also expected to eventually work with other mainstream browsers and on other common types of computers.
Meteor and Thoughtshare have agreed Meteor will acquire a 35% interest in TSCI, with the closing date expected to be October 15. In turn, Meteor, also based in Vancouver, will raise up to $500,000 for Thoughtshare's work and is providing the funds in stages. Meteor trades on the Alberta Stock Exchange under the symbol MMI.
