ubExact's Submit-A-Link Program Boosts Content and Helps Under-Privileged Children
New Search Engine Donates Monies to One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) for Each User-Contributed Link

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - October 28, 2008) - ubExact, a new human-edited search
technology that organizes content by action and geography, today announced
an initiative to donate money to One Laptop
Per Child (OLPC), a non-profit organization that provides low-cost
laptops to underprivileged children around the world. For a limited time,
ubExact will contribute $.05 for each unique link every user submits to
ubExact.
Unlike traditional search engines, ubExact is designed from a user's
perspective and eliminates the common frustration of irrelevant search
results. Built for the user community, ubExact encourages collaboration of
knowledge on various subjects, including valuable content from the Deep
Web. Check out the ubExact video,
which shows the different ways users can access content using this search
tool.
In addition to content collected by ubExact's editorial team, ubExact
welcomes and encourages users to contribute to the evolution of human
knowledge-based results through its Submit-A-Link Program.
Since ubExact supports a "user-contributed" environment, the power and
quality of content increases as more users share their Web-wisdom. Users
that submit a set of 40 links receive the title of ubExactor. Once a user
submits 400 links, they advance to the status of ubExpert. To promote user
recognition, ubExactors and ubExperts are highlighted on ubExact's "Hall
Of Fame" page.
"We created this one-of-a-kind search tool for the user community," said
ubExact Founder and CEO Wilhelmina Stephenson. "Our human-edited content
uses a horizontal architecture to speed users from one website to the next,
while keeping the context of their search as they move across the Web. In
addition, our technology can easily adapt to the future use of voice
recognition in the next generation of everyday search. We've also more than
doubled our index since we launched in the beginning of September. And as
we grow each week, we believe our new initiative to raise money for OLPC
will spark further interest in user contributions."
ubExact's search organizes content, eliminates spam, ensures privacy, and increases efficiency
in directing users to relevant results. On the ubExact homepage, users can
use the map to narrow their search to a specific geographic metro service
area (MSA). Or once they receive their results, they can cut their search
by the actions See It (reference), Do It (entertain), Shop It (buy), and
Find It (navigate).(SM) ubExact makes hard-to-memorize web addresses easy
to access through its "direct navigation" method, which gives users the
option to put a search term into the web browser address bar after the
prefix "ubexact." In addition, ubExact's history-tracking feature
highlights all searches in one place, eliminating the need to ever touch
the back button. The outcome is an easier, more relevant search experience.
About OLPC
The mission of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) movement is to ensure that
all school-aged children in the developing world are able to openly learn
and engage effectively with their own personal laptop, networked to the
world. The OLPC Association focuses on designing, manufacturing, and
distributing laptops to children in lesser developed countries, initially
concentrating on those governments that have made commitments for the
funding and program support required to ensure that all of their children
own and can effectively use a laptop.
