Madison, Wisconsin - (Website Hosting Directory) - February 15, 2008 - Search technology firm, Netconcepts, has debuted the launch of its GravityStream 2.0 enterprise level automated natural search advertising platform, designed for online retailers.
Brian Klais, Vice President of Search and Co-inventor of GravityStream at Netconcepts noted, ''The largest retailers understand that natural search is the # 1 battlefield for online supremacy, because it is the consumer's preferred way to shop. Consumers use unbranded ''long tail'' natural search terms 40 times more often than they search for branded search terms. GravityStream 2.0 is the first true enterprise level solution to make natural search optimization affordable and scaleable, delivered with the ease of Software as a Service. Now, top retailers can treat natural search optimization as an important component of their overall advertising channel strategy.''
GravityStream 2.0 automatically converts a retailer's millions of website pages into optimized landing pages to match its branded products with a consumer's generic queries. Since consumers conduct approximately 40 times more niche searches than branded ones, this capability gives retailers a major competitive advantage in answering generic searches with their own website landing page results. GravityStream technology delivers ''the long tail'' - or the approximately 80% of a retailer's website that traditionally has been unsearchable. Marketers consider ''the long tail'' to be the Holy Grail of web marketing because it typically equates to 60% of new-to-file customers.
GravityStream 2.0 features includes:
Enhanced Reporting Interface
The GravityStream Reporting Interface empowers marketers by offering industry leading insight into their long tail by allowing them access to a unique set of KPI metrics designed for growing natural search channels.
Immediate Time to Market
Fully optimized site in 30 days, as opposed to the 6 - 12 months of traditional SEO project work.
Enhanced Real Time Solution to SEO
GravityStream has been expanded to offer dynamically created, CMS driven, keyword rich URLs. Now an entire site can be easily transformed into a search engine friendly version with the marketer in control.
Enhanced Architecture

Fremont, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - February 14, 2008 - Microsoft Corp. has chosen document recognition, data capture and linguistic technologies firm, ABBYY's FineReader Engine software development kit (SDK), to convert the text from books to searchable electronic data for the high-volume Live Search Books project.
Dean Tang, CEO at ABBYY USA noted, ''It is exciting to announce this alliance with Microsoft and to be part of this large undertaking to bring the world's books to electronic format for both preservation purposes and to make them more accessible and searchable via the web. Through our extensive experience with book scanning and significant investment of R and D resources in this area, our latest version of FineReader has evolved to a level of unmatched accuracy, converting books of varying quality, typefaces and languages while retaining the formatting elements of even very sophisticated layouts, and keeping the context of the original books intact.''
Microsoft is helping to bring together the world's books into a collective, globally accessible and searchable archive. The scanning of book titles from a number of large library collections is underway, including the University of California, the University of Toronto, The British Library, Yale University, The New York Public Library and Cornell University.
ABBYY's OCR technology has been selected for a series of high-profile book scanning projects, including the Gutenberg-DE Project, The Million Book Project at Bibliotheca Alexandrina and The Million Book Project, an international undertaking led by Carnegie Mellon University. As part of its efforts to support library and book digitization projects, ABBYY developed a special version of its FineReader OCR software, called FineReader XIX, to recognize the elaborate "Fraktur" or "black letter" texts from the period between 1600 and 1938, and old European type fonts found in books printed in the 17th to 20th centuries. The special omnifont OCR system was first developed as part of the METAe project, a research and development project co-funded by the European Commission (5th Framework, IST Programme, Area ''Digital Heritage and Cultural Content.''
Book scanning projects require the most accurate and reliable technology. Converting books and manuscripts from an array of sources, and with unprecedented scale and diversity presents unique challenges. ABBYY FineReader Engine was selected for this project due to its demonstrated accuracy, scalability, stability and overall throughput.
Jay Girotto, Group Program Manager at Microsoft remarked, ''In our electronic world, the ability to quickly find relevant information is expected and required, and access to full-text books is no exception. As a key part of our strategy to create an extensive, searchable online library, we have carefully selected technology partners with reliable and proven solutions. ABBYY is a leading OCR vendor, and its solid capture and conversion capabilities hold up even for this extremely large-scale project.''
