The www.kartoo.com Search Engine Launches A New Version

Clermont-Ferrand, France - Mar 10, 2003 (PRN): KartOO SA, publisher of the www.kartoo.com search engine, announces the official launch of the new version of its internet tool with a cartographic interface. Having developed the loyalty of hundreds of thousands of monthly users with the V2 version, they now offer a new version benefiting from technological headway in term of relevancy, speed, and presentation of the results within a clearer topographic interface. This third version is much more intuitive, making it easier to use for novice users, and optimizes access to the advanced functions for expert Internet users. Together with the release of this V3, KartOO SA continues its international development with the launch of a German version.

Major Innovations

- New presentation of the results map

- 2 modes of use: According to level of expertise, the user can choose either the basic mode which quickly posts a very legible map, or the expert mode which allows the user to refine the thematics and to increase the number of pages posted on the map.

- Clustering: the expert mode groups pages found on the same site together. On the map, these groupings are represented by balls connected to one another: a yellow ball for the most relevant page and red balls for secondary pages.

- Optimization: KartOO now uses now Flash5, which reduces the loading time and improves the interface. At the same time, new servers were set up in the USA to accelerate our tool.

- Top Sites : The " Top sites " menu allows faster access to the most relevant sites.
