With new, ‘smart’
search capabilities, a simplified user interface, and access to leading
search engines and content sources, Grokker2 breaks new ground for
online researchers
SAUSALITO, Calif. – December 15, 2003 – Groxis, Inc.,
a leader in visual information management software, today announced
general availability of Grokker 2, the latest generation of its award-winning
visual search product. The new software welcomes researchers, educators,
students to discover and explore the true depth and breadth of the
World Wide Web. Equipped with new, more powerful organization and
visualization capabilities, Grokker 2 stands far apart from its predecessor.
Since first previewing its technology in October 2002, Groxis has
received accolades from industry watchers, product reviewers, and
customers. Grokker 2 has already won appeal with educators, students,
and consumer researchers where there has been a growing demand for
applications that can help simplifying the process of researching
on the Web. The result of a yearlong dialog with early customers and
industry experts, Grokker 2 has been significantly improved to make
research on the Web easier, more enjoyable, and more efficient for
everyone. Educators in both the K-12 and higher education market have
already pronounced Grokker 2 an essential project-based learning tool
for 2004.
“With major technology and usability enhancements, Grokker
2 is poised to move well into the broader desktop software market,”
said R.J. Pittman, CEO and co-founder at Groxis. “Research is
an every day part of the program for almost everyone online today,
and most true in academia. Grokker 2 readily meets this demand.”
The new software can now organize and visually map thousands of search
results in just a few seconds from multiple search engines and content
sources simultaneously. This also creates the opportunity to build
Grokker plug-ins to virtually any content source, database, or search
engine on the Net. The company expects to announce several new plug-ins
in the coming months.
Grokker 2 goes on sale today at www.groxis.com at a special price
of $49, along with a 30-day free “Try and Buy” offer.
Available on PCs today, Grokker 2 will be available for the Apple
Mac OS X platform in Q1 2004.
