SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 1999--Cosmoz.com, Inc.
(OTC BB: CMOZ), is pleased to announce that its New Portal Web Site
was launched on Friday May 14, 1999 at 11.58 PM EST, ahead of schedule
and well within budget.
The Cosmoz.com Portal, located at cosmoz.com , was
modeled after leading Portals such as Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), Go2Net ,
(NASDAQ: GNET) Lycos (NASDAQ: LCOS), AltaVista(NASDAQ: CPQ), Excite
(NASDAQ: XCIT)and Netscape Netcenter (NASDAQ: AOL), as a stand alone
business and with the expressed purpose of marketing the web sites
within the Cosmoz Network. The Cosmoz.com Portal provides several
unique features, plus all the content, functioning and ease of
navigation users expect from major Internet Portals.
"The Cosmoz Team believes this important milestone represents the
point at which Cosmoz.com has become a serious competitor to Major
Internet Companies," said Wilfred Shaw, CEO of Cosmoz.com.
The Cosmoz.com World Wide Web Search Engine is dynamic, fast and
powerful. Cosmoz.com's Proprietary Search Engine Technology is
designed to offer all the standard functions of Major Search Engines,
and has additional features that incorporate requests mentioned in
recent web usability studies.
When a user enters a Search Term, the Cosmoz.com Search Engine
references a continuously updated database of web sites. Groups of the
ten most relevant web sites are then listed by URL web address, web
site description and category reference. The Cosmoz.com Search Engine
also has unique features, providing information not offered at other
Search Engines.
COSMOZ.COM'S UNIQUE QUICK PEEK DOMAIN SEARCH FUNCTION
When a Search Term is entered, preceding each listed URL is a
magnifying glass icon which represents the Cosmoz.com Quick Peek
Domain Search Function. When the Quick Peek icon is clicked, the
Cosmoz.com Search Engine searches inside the web site's html files for
information contained within the title, description and content tags.
In addition, Cosmoz.com's Quick Peek function displays the domain
information for the registrant, administrative, technical, zone and
billing contacts, with phone numbers, addresses, record dates, domain
servers and internet service providers.
COSMOZ.COM'S UNIQUE QUICK LINKS SEARCH OPTION
When the Cosmoz.com Search Engine's Quick Links box is checked, a
description window above the list of web site links is displayed for
the search results. As users move their mouse over the web site links,
site descriptions are displayed in the window. Cosmoz.com's Quick
Links Search Option is a very fast loading and convenient way to list
and preview web site information, without the need to scroll up and
down browser pages.
