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.
