ImaginOn Releases WebZinger 6 Today
First All-in-one Internet "Supra-Search" Engine
San Carlos, California, January 29, 1999 -- ImaginOn, Inc., (NASDAQ: IMON) announced that The Internet's first "Supra-Search Engine" – WebZinger™ 6.00 was released on schedule, today. 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, any time it is needed.
Without 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, while the user proceeds with other tasks.
"For those folks who just can't wait, we have 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 Microsoft Windows PCs. Apple Mac and Sun Solaris versions will follow in the near future. WebZinger 6.00 is available for electronic purchase at a retail price of $44.95. Initially, purchasers can download the software from www.unboxed.com, or directly from the company at www.webzinger.com. Additional distribution agreements are currently being finalized.
