technology may change the way people surf the web. (may be freely reprinted or changed) SHORT VERSION (145 words) A small start-up in Miami Beach is trying to change the way we surf the Web MIAMI BEACH, FL.- July 31, 2001 - A new technology solves a problem that has plagued surfers since the early days of the Web: tediously having to click back and forth when viewing a page with a number of links. Quickbrowse This claims to solve this inconvenience. On Quickbrowse This-enabled sites, users can select many links and then view them all at once, combined into a single page. Quickbrowse.com, the inventor of this patent-pending technology, hopes that Web sites will want to install Quickbrowse This in order to boost page views by offering "back-and-forth-free" navigation. Currently, the company showcases the technology on several of its own Web sites: qbSearch.com (a metasearch engine), qbStocks.com (a stock message board) and qbNewsstand.com (customized newspapers). Quickbrowse, backed by GeoCities founder David Bohnett, says Quickbrowse This may change the way we all browse the Web - so go to qbSearch, qbStocks or qbNewsstand to check it out. It’s free and there is no software download required.
LONG VERSION (531 words) TRUE "Surfing" may finally hit the Web MIAMI BEACH, FL.- July 31, 2001 - A new technology – Quickbrowse Quickbrowse This – solves a problem that has plagued surfers since the early days on the Web: having to click back and forth when navigating links. Good-bye, stop-and-go. Hello, more page views, sales transactions and advertising impressions. True "surfing" may finally be here. * * * * Imagine if the average surfer went only 20 yards before he had to paddle back out to catch the next wave. Not quite the thrill it appears on Baywatch. Well, navigating a Web page with a number of links -- like the messages on the Yahoo Finance MSFT message board, or the links Ebay provides when searching for "Palm Pilot" auctions -- can be just that way, tediously clicking back-and-forth between many separate Web pages. It’s been like this since the Web began. But a patent-pending and licensable new technology called Quickbrowse This now promises the perfect wave. Or a big improvement, anyway. One of the first sites where Web surfers can check out the benefits of the technology is www.qbStocks.com, a site operated by Quickbrowse.com, the inventor of Quickbrowse This. qbStocks is a metasearch engine for various stock message boards. Enter one or several stock quotes, select the message boards you want to view (Yahoo, Motley Fool, E-trade, or Raging Bull) - and you immediately see something is different here. In addition to the result links, there is a menu permanently hovering in the bottom right of the screen. It makes it simple: "First, click on all the messages you want to read; Then, click "here" to view them all at once." Using Quickbrowse This is like putting the pages you want to view into a shopping cart and when you check out you can see all of them combined into a single page. A user clicks all the items that pique her interest, then views them all combined into a single long window. Just keep scrolling down to see them all. Like a really long wave. Another site equipped with the same technology, is the metasearch engine qbSearch.com. Users can choose whether they want the links on search result pages to open right away, as they are selected . . . or to be gathered together to be viewed all at once on a single page. A third Quickbrowse property enabled with Quickbrowse This, qbNewsstand.com, allows users to create their own custom newspapers from various online publications. Marc Fest, CEO of Quickbrowse.com, Inc., claims that "the easier navigation that comes with Quickbrowse This means more navigation. More navigation means more page views. And more page views mean more product purchases on retail sites, more transactions on auction sites, and more advertising impressions on all kinds of sites ranging from personal ads to newspaper and magazine sites." "We have a patent pending, and there is nothing anywhere on the Web that is even
remotely similar to Quickbrowse This," Fest says, adding "Quickbrowse This has
the potential to change the way all of us surf the Web." +++ Demos: Quickbrowse properties featuring Quickbrowse This: The latest update on the "Quickbrowse Story" (how Quickbrowse.com
