iLeonardo Makes Web Research Fast and Easy

New social utility fuses human and machine search; connects users with other
peoples' collections of web content to create powerful discovery engine

PALM DESERT, Calif., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- DEMO 08 -- Notebookz.com Inc.
today introduced iLeonardo http://www.ileonardo.com: the first social utility
for connecting to people and their collections of information from the Web.
"Researching something on the web is slow and painful," said Joshua Rosen,
Notebookz.com's founder and CEO. "iLeonardo gives people simple tools to
collect the best of the Web on any subject, and then lets them share their
collections, so you don't have to repeat the same research others have done
millions of times before."
iLeonardo lets people create digital notebooks containing any content from
the Internet that can be edited, such as links to Web sites, text, or images.
In return -- based on what the user puts into a notebook -- iLeonardo
instantly assembles all similar notebooks that other people have created on
the same subject.
"We expect iLeonardo to be used for a broad range of activities, such as
sharing research for school or work projects, planning a vacation or wedding -
truly anything that involves collecting content from the web," said Rosen
In addition to quickly delivering relevant information, every notebook can
also connect iLeonardo users to the library of a notebook's author. An
author's library contains their personal profile, recent changes to any of
their notebooks, as well as the notebooks they've created on other subjects.
"One of the things I like most about iLeonardo is that by saving a copy of
someone's notebook into my library, every time the author adds something to
that notebook, I'm automatically notified, and continually get fresh content
pushed to me," said Rosen, who claims the inspiration for iLeonardo was
laziness and a desire to take advantage of other people's work.
Nonetheless, users always have total control over how much information
other iLeonardo users can see about themselves and their notebooks.
"You can be totally anonymous, keep all of your personal information and
notebooks private, never share anything, and can still search and save
information from other people's libraries," said Rosen. "But we know that the
more notebooks people create and share, the more powerful the iLeonardo
knowledge network will become."
