Lycos launches new search products
24 August 2004
Search company Lycos has unveiled its new Lycos People Search and Lycos Discussion Search products.
Lycos US, part of global internet group Terra Lycos, claims the two products are key components of the company's personal connectivity strategy announced earlier this year. The new tools are specifically designed to help users search and find people and topics that are most significant and relevant to them.
Lycos plans to leverage its critical mass of 37 million monthly unique users to generate use of the products and fuel the revenue stream behind the business model.
Mark Stoever, CEO of Lycos US, said: "The emerging personal connections and publishing space is poised for dramatic growth, and our new connectivity products position us to capitalise on the current environment."
Lycos People Search features tools to accelerate search and retrieve information. It aggregates information available in numerous online databases including alumni directories, professional profiles and public records.
Lycos Discussion Search helps users locate what others are saying, writing and posting on the web about topics of interest to them. It retrieves information from some of the web's most popular public community boards and forums, collecting information in one place for easy use.
Lycos People and Discussion Search product launches will be supported by online advertising campaigns and extensive site integration, starting later this year.
