New social utility fuses human and machine search; connects users with
other peoples' collections of web content to create powerful discovery
engine
PALM DESERT, Calif., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- DEMO 08 -- Notebookz.com
Inc. today introduced iLeonardo http://www.ileonardo.com: the first social
utility for connecting to people and their collections of information from
the Web.
"Researching something on the web is slow and painful," said Joshua
Rosen, Notebookz.com's founder and CEO. "iLeonardo gives people simple
tools to collect the best of the Web on any subject, and then lets them
share their collections, so you don't have to repeat the same research
others have done millions of times before."
iLeonardo lets people create digital notebooks containing any content
from the Internet that can be edited, such as links to Web sites, text, or
images. In return -- based on what the user puts into a notebook --
iLeonardo instantly assembles all similar notebooks that other people have
created on the same subject.
"We expect iLeonardo to be used for a broad range of activities, such
as sharing research for school or work projects, planning a vacation or
wedding - truly anything that involves collecting content from the web,"
said Rosen
In addition to quickly delivering relevant information, every notebook
can also connect iLeonardo users to the library of a notebook's author. An
author's library contains their personal profile, recent changes to any of
their notebooks, as well as the notebooks they've created on other
subjects.
"One of the things I like most about iLeonardo is that by saving a copy
of someone's notebook into my library, every time the author adds something
to that notebook, I'm automatically notified, and continually get fresh
content pushed to me," said Rosen, who claims the inspiration for iLeonardo
was laziness and a desire to take advantage of other people's work.
Nonetheless, users always have total control over how much information
other iLeonardo users can see about themselves and their notebooks.
"You can be totally anonymous, keep all of your personal information
and notebooks private, never share anything, and can still search and save
information from other people's libraries," said Rosen. "But we know that
the more notebooks people create and share, the more powerful the iLeonardo
knowledge network will become."
