FRISCO, TX, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
According to a poll cited by Walt Mossberg during the D7: All Things
Digital Conference, 'force of habit' drives search-engine choice for 38
percent of consumers. Commenting on the much-ballyhooed June 3rd launch
of Bing, dubbed 'the decision engine' by Microsoft marketers, Edward
Mandel, CEO of NeXplore Corporation (PINKSHEETS: NXPC), said, "Anything
that calls attention to the question of choice when it comes to Internet
search is good for consumers and good for NeXplore."
Launched in January 2008, NeXplore Search (www.NeXplore.com), currently in
public beta, is an interactive and visually engaging Web 2.0 search engine
optimized for a superior end-user experience, multi-media display and
social-sharing integration.
Mandel added, "Ubiquitous broadband, explosive online video consumption,
the rapid adoption of Web-based interaction, personalization and
socialization tools, and the mounting dissatisfaction with the traditional
search experience are strong indications that the same dull, boring 10
blue links will no longer pass muster with today's increasingly
search-savvy consumers. There's simply too much exciting innovation
happening in the world of search for habit to hold sway much longer."
For its part, NeXplore Search surpassed 5.6 million unique monthly
visitors this year and currently ranks in the top 3,000 Web destinations
worldwide, according to Web-analytics company Compete.com and Alexa
traffic rankings.
"Bing is purported to have some pretty interesting features that make
search more efficient such as a website preview pane, video preview, and
helpful groupings of search-results by category," said Scott Grizzle,
chief marketing officer for NeXplore Corporation. "We'll definitely be
among the first to check out Bing when it debuts on June 3rd, but anyone
interested in seeing similar features plus a whole lot more can check out
NeXplore.com today."
