PreFound.com had a nice write-up in the Louisville Courier-Journal today by their business writer, Bill Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe came down to the PreFound.com Global Headquarters last week to do some interviews, take some pictures and spend some time talking about social and community search with Steve and Pat. It was really nice to have a local newspaper cover what we're doing and what we want to do in Search, and we really enjoyed Mr. Wolfe's company. He even used our term to describe our area of the country, "Silicon Holler", which always fills us with extreme jocularity. Of course, we had to hide our corn-cob pipes and moonshine, put the blue-tick hounds out back and move our "inside" furniture off the front porch to make sure we gave out the right impression. All kidding aside, it's great to talk about social search, and get the word out about our goal of human indexing the Web.

On that note, we wanted to say that we're very close to introducing a bunch of enhancements over the next few days and weeks ahead (many that we've been promising for a while). Included are things like:
- implementing the Featured Finder program (get paid to search!)
- putting in the manual input and import functions
- putting in the RSS feeds feature in the user pages
We're literally only days away, so keep listening and we'll let you know as soon as these new features are live.

Remember, with PreFound.com you never have to sign-up or sign-in to search the site. We only need you to sign-up if you want to be a Finder for PreFound.com, and share the great links that you find out on the Web with all of us. We understand that not everyone will want to do that, and many of you will only want to use the site for search. But to those intrepid souls that want to share what they've found, we salute you, and look forward to you signing up and seeing what you find. Thanks for being a part of the human-indexing revolution.

Stay in Kentucky. It's a jungle out here in CA. Also, giving people a way to share links without a download will be really helpful. At work, I'm not allowed to download or install anything without permission.
 
I was able to clear a couple of doubts, for which I’m deeply thankful. It is rare that you come across such an insightful work. A big thumbs up from my side.
