FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Hot Neuron LLC Launches MagPortal.com
BRYN MAWR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 28, 2000--Hot Neuron LLC is
proud to introduce the
MagPortal.comSM
web site which is a free service providing a
categorization of individual magazine articles and
search engine.
Although the Internet provides vast amounts of free
information, it can be time consuming to find
quality information which is so widely scattered.
MagPortal.com helps by providing access to a diverse
set of free online magazines. Its categorization of
individual articles makes it easy to monitor articles
on a particular topic regardless of where they are
published. The search engine makes MagPortal.com a
valuable research tool. The service should be of
interest to anyone who reads magazines, but it is
especially helpful to business people who want to
track recent articles in their field.
While generic search engines such as Lycos return
links to sites of varying quality, MagPortal.com
focuses on established magazines. Its index is updated
within days of a new article becoming available, while
generic search engines may take weeks to update.
"If you want to find recent information on topics
ranging from e-commerce to movie reviews, this
is a great way to do it," according to CEO Bill Dimm.
The MagPortal.com site also demonstrates a pre-release
version of the company's Hot Neuron
SimilarityTM software which uses a
proprietary algorithm to measure the similarity of two
documents. When a user finds an article they like,
they can click on an adjacent icon to list similar
articles.
Hot Neuron LLC is an Internet software and services
company founded by Bill Dimm who has a Ph.D. in
Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics from Cornell
University. He developed mathematical models and
computer code in the interest rate derivatives research
group at BNP/Cooper Neff, Inc. for four years before
leaving to start Hot Neuron LLC. For more information
