"I do believe we had a fantastic three months during iGlue's Summer Annotation Challenge. A few numbers, over 4,500 plug-in downloads, over 1.6 million annotations placed on over 40,000 different websites. Finalists collected over 1.5 million points for their annotations and users collectively spent over 8,500 hours using the system. For a small start-up just getting its product out the door these are tremendous numbers," commented Mr. Rozsnyay, CEO of Power of the Dream Ventures.
iGlue represents a quantum leap in internet technology. Through the interactive use of iGlue's machine and hand annotation feature every single word on any webpage becomes a live, media rich Wikipedia-like junction point, providing users access to immediate, value added information.
iGlue's expanded semantic database now contains over 100 million data points, including over 10 million entities, with over 38 million semantic connections between them, including over 4 million geographical locations, more than 1.5 million names, and more than three hundred thousand institutional name entries and more.
"Now that the Annotation Challenge is over we only have one task left before us. Completing iGue's going public roadmap. We just raised $270,000 in additional capital for the company. After months of working through the required SEC we are now at the finish line. I anticipate completing iGlue's public process by the end of September. Once the company is public we will announce the dividend date for our shareholders," added Mr. Rozsnyay.
