LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Easing the way for Web searchers to share information on topics of personal interest, community-oriented search engine PreFound.com (www.prefound.com) today introduced site improvements that give users the ability to manually post tagged links, access
RSS feeds from topic experts and keywords, and import existing links from other sites.
Now on PreFound.com, users can simply type or paste their selected URLs into the PreFound.com site, just as they would with other tagging sites such as del.icio.us or Yahoo! MyWeb 2.0. The new manual upload option eliminates the need for users to download a tool in order to share links. PreFound.com, launched earlier this year, lets people find, tag and share information including multimedia such as video, MP3 files, and podcasts.
"We're trying to make it as easy as possible for people to share their information with the rest of the community," said Steve Mansfield, CEO of iLOR LLC, and PreFound.com. "The new manual post feature is particularly beneficial to PreFound.com community members in a corporate environment who don't have the option to install third-party applications on their corporate machines."
PreFound.com users can also now access RSS feeds from all of the site's user pages and topic expert "Featured Finder" pages. Users also have the option to set up RSS feeds for any search query and will be notified immediately via RSS when users share new links with the PreFound.com community which contain their chosen keywords.
Another new feature gives users the ability to import links from del.icio.us, Yahoo! My Web 2.0, and Furl directly to PreFound.com. Links tagged on these sites can be imported directly into PreFound.com.
