Jeteye Launches Evolutionary Search Platform; Innovative Shared Search Technology Allows Users to Search, Package and Share the Digital World

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2005--Jeteye Inc. today announced the launch of its shared search platform (www.jeteye.com). Featuring user-created packages of self-selected search results, comments and images called Jetpaks(TM), Jeteye enables users to search, manage and distribute information, making search, online exploration and publishing a more relevant, intuitive and collaborative process.

Jeteye's search platform is the first to integrate searchable and shareable online content in multiple forms combined with user comments and blog-like entries. Jeteye integrates social networking, Web searches, blogs, images and other searchable Jetpaks(TM), consistently generating more deeply relevant content. Jeteye is populated by users who have created, managed and shared their Web searches and information-gathering processes. Jetpaks(TM) are designed for immediate retrieval of a diverse set of archived content.

"We are launching a technology that gives each user more choice and control in information retrieval and creative contribution. Jeteye not only improves the Web search process, it redefines how digital information is viewed, published and shared," said Jeteye founder and CEO, David Hayden. "Searching the Web has always lacked the power of intuition. We have built an industry-compatible platform that marries computing algorithms and human thought, allowing users to access Jetpaks(TM) created by a social network of individuals who have found and created new online information."

Jeteye was created with a combination of core IP and open source technology. The platform offers multiple search engine functionality for those who prefer to obtain their search items from a particular traditional engine. Once the user performs a search and finds relevant information, the creation of a Jetpak(TM) begins. The searchable packages are not limited to space and as an option a Jetpak(TM) can be amended by future users in a "wiki-like" continuation of content if the original creator chooses an open-ended package format. To populate its community and give users an idea of what possibilities exist for shared search experience, Jeteye has pre-populated Jetpaks(TM) about the most common user searches. These pre-packaged, polished search result bundles provide information ranging from travel destinations and popular music to automobiles and books. A Jetpak(TM) for a musical act, for example, may contain images, links to official and fan Web sites, as well as album reviews, guitar chords and streaming media.

Unlike other shared search communities, Jeteye is an open network, accessible to members and non-members alike. Membership begins with a simple email address and alias and allows the added capability to implement Jeteye's hallmark technology, the Jetpak(TM), to enhance the member's Web experience and that of millions of other Web users. Users may add notes to their Jetpaks(TM), such as recommendations, comments and opinions, while a rating system allows users to evaluate and provide feedback based on the contents of a particular Jetpak(TM). Those Jetpaks(TM) receiving the highest ratings from the Jeteye community will be placed at the top of their appropriate keyword search results.

Advertisers will also find exceptional opportunities to reach customers through the viral nature of Jetpaks(TM). Through the life of a Jetpak(TM)--as it is emailed from user to user and accessed through Jeteye searches--the advertising remains embedded in the original package design. Sponsorships are available for the bundled, content-specific packages which may also include sponsored links inside the Jetpak(TM).
