“The Best of the Web in a Click Free Search”
The LeapFish Mission
Unique, Fresh. New, a Lifeline to a breadth of relevant information with instantaneous real-time results – That is whatLeapFish is for the User. LeapFish has a mission to address the increased flow of new, abundant and relevantinformation through empowering Internet users with a unique, bold and radically simple way of accessing the web in asingle search.
LeapFish consolidates fragmented information from multiple sources and major web portals like Google,Ebay, YouTube and numerous social media outlets (blogs and social networks) and breaks it into simple and wider reaching results for the user all being provided with click-free search functionality (no more clicking the “search” buttonand being led to another page to get results).The best of technology today isn’t one that is necessarily feature-heavy, typically it is the one that simplifies (think Twitter or think Google years ago - the technology that's simplest to use is also, often, the most difficult to create). LeapFish isthat type of technology. It’s not meant to be better, more complex or feature heavy as related to Google, Yahoo, Live or even Dogpile. LeapFish was designed to leverage and pull from the best of each engine and couple those results with therest of the relevant unique content that users are seeking but were not getting, until now with LeapFish.Clay Shirky, a professor at NYU’s graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program and a consultant and writer on thesocial and economic effects of Internet technologies, states “It’s not information overload. It’s filter failure”. We couldn’tagree more, Behnam Behrouzi, CEO at Leapfish and creator of several successful internet startups summarizes it as “Theexplosion of user-generated content is bringing back that sense of fragmentation that existed in the early 90s when theInternet was beginning to take off,” Behrouzi said. “There’s just so much out there now, and the volume of data requiresbetter consolidation techniques that allow users to not just find information, but to find that which is truly valuable to themon the web.”
Why LeapFish is Unique
Our unique click-free search functionality returns results as you type each letter. This resolves the need to click a searchbutton or even pluralize a word and then re-click the search button again (an example of the OLD way: type the searchterm “ipod” in the box and click search, but then you desire results on “ipods” you must add the “s” and then click thesearch button AGAIN). This is an all-in-one time saver that eliminates clicks and keystrokes coupled with a nimble searchapplication that allows you to modify search characters and get instantaneous results on-the-fly. “Wow and cool”, that’swhat we said when we first created it!The interface is familiar but unique as well. We aren’t trying to get fancy and give you beautiful web page shots andinformation that is movable and spins like some engines. We want to make the familiar even better. You will find a simpleusable interface you are accustomed to but with added features on the right hand side that gives you immediate access toinformation related to your search. You can then click and dig deeper on each image, video, article or other piece of information that interests you or just hover over a video and view it right on LeapFish with no clicking. Hover over animage thumbnail and get the actual image immediately with no waiting or clicking. The results are set up for your convenience and your perceived relevancy not the search engines. That’s what we call refreshing.
