...the search game is far from over” says Justin Staines, VP, Invu PLC
June 2, 2008: Blisworth, UK: Invu PLC (LSE:INVU.L) announced today the retail launch of Ergo, their revolutionary new software product. Ergo is an Internet and PC search tool like no other; give Ergo a search term and it’ll automatically collaborate, sort and categorise the millions of search results from sources such as Google, YouTube, Flickr, Wikipedia and your PC.
“You have to see it to believe it” explained Justin Staines, Vice President, Invu PLC, “Ergo’s beautifully simplistic method of displaying hundreds of thousands search results on a single screen is magical”. Ergo makes searching for information quicker, easier and more fun. A recent survey1 unveiled that regular internet-users were spending an average 7 minutes to find a desired result through a conventional search engine. The same information was found using Ergo in less than 48 seconds.
Ergo’s 3D Thumbflow™ visualisation allows users to flick through and preview search results similar to the album covers on apple’s iphone. “Ergo’s interface is not only pleasing to use, it rapidly speeds up the time it takes to find what you’re looking for” remarked Staines, “no longer do you have the arduous task of scrolling through pages of boring text results”.
Ergo can also annotate, email, save or print search results. In a click of a button, it’s possible to draw, make notes and highlight anything found by Ergo. “The annotation feature is great for sharing or saving information and makes an incredible research tool for students home and business users, but the possibilities for Ergo are endless, the search game is far from over” Staines concluded.
Ergo retails for £24.99, a 30 day free trial can be downloaded at ergodownload.com. Invu also offer OEM licensing for system integrators, hardware vendors and solution providers. Wacom recently signed a deal to rebrand and distribute Ergo with a range of their pen tablet products.
