Product Description: Pluck is a free Web-based application that transforms the way people find, organize and share information. Pluck, which is available as a browser plug-in or Web-based service, turns the ordinary Web browser into a powerful “command center” that brings the best of the Internet to you. With Pluck, people can persistently search the Web, access RSS feeds, organize/store search results, access/synchronize bookmarks, publish, and share information with friends - from any PC at any time.
Market Opportunity: Pluck targets the hundreds of millions of people worldwide who use the Web daily or several times a week to find information, access news, and conduct research. The resulting market opportunity is north of a billion dollars (following a usage/advertising model similar to Google).
DEMO Says: “After almost a year of market testing, Pluck has reached its 1.0 milestone with a unique combination of features that put in one product the tools one needs to search, retrieve, manage and share Web-based data. Pluck 1.0 tears down the silos between search, RSS, bookmarks, and provides a unified and persistent personal Web view. Moreover, the ad-based business model means users get the benefits and value of Pluck at no cost to them.”
