The Next Big Thing In Searching - WSJ
From the pages of the Wall Street Journal today, PreFound.com is discussed as one of the new generation of tagging sites that are "The Next Big Thing In Searching", by Jessica E. Vascellaro, Staff Reporter for the WSJ. If for any reason you can't click to it, comment below and we'll get you a copy.
That's big news, not only for us but for our segment of the search world. We at PreFound.com have been preaching the gospel of tagging ever since our launch, and the WSJ may have set up the "what and why" best when they wrote: "...The new method, dubbed "tagging," addresses a common complaint of many Internet users -- that searching is often clumsy and inefficient. Web surfers often must sift through multiple pages of search results to find what they are looking for. And retrieving the best sites a second time often means redoing the search or trolling through an unorganized list of sites that you have haphazardly saved in a "favorites" folder.
Tagging, however, can cut through the online clutter to deliver more relevant bits of information. That is because many versions allow users to search only sites that other people have already deemed useful. It also makes it easier to find desired information again. Users says tagging services can simplify online endeavors like shopping for a new road bike or acoustic guitar because they allow a prospective buyer to quickly access saved information."
No way I could have said it better myself. PreFound.com is The Next Big Thing In Searching.
What makes us different than all the other guys out there? A lot of things; first of all we're about searching the entire web, not just news or technology information. Second, we have an interface that most people find very familiar and easy to use. This is not so with many other tagging sites. Third, we allow you to virtually instantly build lists of text and graphic links to any type of media including video and podcasts, organize that list, assist you with tagging the list and offer "click a button to upload" sharing your list on PreFound.com, all done with our patented PFfinder technology.
So, ya' wanna be part of the Next Big Thing In Search. Be a part of PreFound.com. We really are trying to make searching the web a community search experience. And, hey, someone's probably already "pre-found" whatever it is you're looking for, so you just might save yourself a lot of work.

i read the article this morning on my way to work. i read it again during lunch. and i thought about it all day at work. seo, ppc, and tagging is on the move.
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
i'm very excited for your venture as well as the other firms in the search engine business. the wsj article was confirmation for me that it is now time to plunk down some serious dollars in my own e-biz. let the good times role. best of luck. here are my favorite quotes from the wsj article:
"Indeed even the less popular sites generate less than 1% of Google's monthly traffic" and "..analysts are predicting further growth in the 'tagosphere' as new companies crop up to grab a share of the nearly $15 BILLION online-advertising market."
