ImaginOn to Release First All-In-One Internet 'Supra-Search Engine' On January 29, 1999
Initial Marketing to be Completed through Five Websites
GREER, S.C., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- ImaginOn, Inc., (Nasdaq: IMON - news) announced today that ImaginOn.com will release on January 29, 1999, the Internet's first ''Supra-Search Engine'' -- WebZinger™ 6.00. Unlike anything before it, WebZinger 6.00 is all-in-one Web software, doing the whole job for Internet researchers; searching, locating, downloading, formatting, presenting and browsing. WebZinger 6.00 is like having a research assistant who is Web-savvy, capable of delivering a multimedia report complete with text, pictures, video and audio on any topic, anytime you need it.
Prior to WebZinger 6.00, Internet users will spend much of their own time putting together reports based on Internet websites, employing many different software programs to do it. Typically, the Web user starts a browser, uses a search engine to get a list of possible sites, then visits a lot of sites, downloads selected pictures, video and audio clips, and finally all the elements are assembled into a usable report. That process can take hours. For most reports, WebZinger 6.00 will do the entire process in about 30 minutes, by itself, in the background, without user intervention.
''For those folks who just have to have some initial results right now, we've added Fast Mode which compiles an abbreviated WebZinger report in about a minute,'' said Leonard Kain, ImaginOn's VP of Engineering. ''That's nearly as fast as conventional search engines, but with superior relevance and actual text extracts from each site.''
WebZinger 6.00, a Java application, runs on Windows PCs. Other platforms will follow in the near future. WebZinger 6.00 will be available for electronic purchase at a retail price of $44.95. Initially, purchasers can download the software from various Internet retailers including software-depot.netscape.com, www.unboxed.com, www.beyond.com, www.netsales.net, or directly from the company at www.webzinger.com. Additional distribution agreements are currently being finalized.
ImaginOn, Inc. (f/k/a California Pro Sports, Inc.), formerly a marketer and distributor of sporting goods related products, is a publicly-traded company that has executed an agreement to merge with ImaginOn.com (f/k/a ImaginOn, Inc.) based in San Carlos, California. The Company's stockholders have approved the proposed merger and the companies are completing the customary paperwork necessary to effectuate the transaction.
