Press Release: Factbites launch - Factbites: "What do you get if you cross a search engine with an encyclopedia? The answer arrived on the net today - Factbites (www.Factbites.com), a new approach to search. Under the slogan 'where results make sense', Factbites provides searchers with full sentences about their search topic, rather than the sentence fragments most search engines offer.
Rather than focusing on link-based technology like Google, Factbites delves into the tone and subject matter of the given topic. The engine 'reads' the content of each page and determines how meaningful the text is. It seeks out authoritative and informative content, preferring encyclopedia-style fact-based descriptions to the chatty, spammy and inconsequential. "

COLORADO SUES GENEALOGY COMPANY

The suit, filed in Arapahoe County
District Court against Maxwell MacMaster and his company, Morphcorp LLC,
seeks to cease the operation and penalize him up to $2,000 per book
sold, which could amount to $300 million," according to the Denver Post.

The suit claims 150,000 people nationwide were swindled out of $49.95
each when they bought a book with fake family histories from Morphcorp
of Denver. People who bought these genealogical "yearbooks" got the same
family coat of arms, the same family recipes and even the same family
jokes, according to a lawsuit, which was filed in late November.

Consumers with complaints regarding Morphcorp or the "Family Yearbook"
may call the Colorado Consumer Line toll-free 1-800-222-4444 (in
Colorado) or 1-800-332-2071 (out of state) or may download a complaint
