Exalead is proud to present the first semantic search service that lets people find, organize, share and enhance content online. Along with the introduction of the new BAAGZ search service, Exalead launches a special by-invitation-only beta session.

With BAAGZ, Exalead has been selected along with 70 other companies to take part in the prestigious DEMOFall in San Diego that is taking place right now.

WHAT IS BAAGZ?
BAAGZ is a new form of social network that can be described as a live network of shared interests. It allows users (we like to call them “baagerz”) to easily organize their favorite things and topics online into individual “baagz.” While BAAGZ offers a simple way for users to organize their favorite online content, it also helps to educate BAAGZ about what is of interest to its users, or baagerz, and connect them with related content or other baagerz who are experts on a given topic.

HOW DOES BAAGZ WORK?
Shared interests are characterized by the public content contained within individual folders, called baagz, that act as shortcuts to your favorite Web sites, articles, pictures, videos, RSS feeds and notes.

Exalead’s expertise in indexing the Semantic Web (www.exalead.com) is at the core of BAAGZ. BAAGZ uses its semantic description of every Web site stored in a baag to determine what a given baag is about – whether or not a given Web site is specifically tagged by baagerz.

Our development team has been hard at work on BAAGZ for over a year and represents more than a decade of R&D. BAAGZ combines the best of search technology and aims to capture the very essence of what is referred to as Web 2.0.

For the moment, BAAGZ is available in beta version (Firefox2+) and by invitation only. For more information or to request your invitation to the BAAGZ private beta, please visit www.baagz.com.

Many websites are already talking about BAAGZ, including Mashable, Paul Gillin’s blog and Econtentmag.
