Ziggs launches new search platform for professionals

29 October 2004

Ziggs has unveiled a new search platform for finding people in business online at www.ziggs.com.

The Boston-based firm said the website provides the fastest-growing index of current professional profiles on the web and enables users to search from a single source for people in business across more than one million professional profiles from nearly 16,000 companies.

Ziggs expects the service to double to two million profiles in the next 100 days and claims that every profile is accurate, professional, and timely, allowing users to successfully find the most current and concise information on the person they seek.

The new service aggregates up-to-date, existing public profiles from current corporate websites, and then links the searcher directly to the profile on the corporate site.

The Ziggs Search Platform is an open environment available or use free of charge. People wanting an online profile in Ziggs can join with an introductory one-year free trial offer.

"Typically, the searcher is looking for a snapshot of concise information on the person in question, including where they work, how to contact them and maybe even a photo to put a face with the name," Tim DeMello, founder and chief executive officer of Ziggs, said. "But name search results on major search engines primarily provide random links on a person, such as a news story or some other mention. So Ziggs set out to create a search platform that would enable people to take control of search results by presenting themselves online -- the way they want to be found -- through an accurate and professional online profile."

In addition to offering a profile listing at http://www.ziggs.com, Ziggs also offers a popular Search Engine Placement Service that gives an individual profile visibility across the Internet.
