Trexy Debuts New Search Trail Technology

Trexy`s new search trails technology was launched, as announced by the company this week. The company is striving to realize an old concept by visionary Dr. Vannevar Bush. Bush shard his vision of creating a collective memory by recording people`s trials through information, in a 1940s paper he released, and Trexy is following Bush`s dream.

Bush dreamt of a device called a ?Memex? ? an enhanced supplement to personal and community memory created by trailblazers: ?those who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record.? London based Trexy aims to fulfill the trailblazing aspects of Bush?s vision by enabling users to create search trails. Search trails are the pathways users create while searching on their favorite engines like Google, MSN and Ask Jeeves.

Trexy remembers the search terms and the web pages visited on over 3000 engines. Trexy also enables users to follow the anonymous search trails of other searchers. ?Instead of searching for the same thing twice, Trexy helps you to pinpoint information you?ve already found. So you?ll never have to ask yourself, ?Where did I find that again?? Nigel Hamilton said.
