New browser & search net invention

[gizmotron]

Well I'm splashing into this forum for the first time and I might as well post what my interests are and why I'm seeking information in this area of this forum. I've been working on an extensible markup language browser and have recently begun experimenting with adding a search engine to the network that will be represented by this new technology. It started out as an archive tool for text and migrated to a web based presentation tool that allows website managers to present multi-paged documents that can contain embedded images as well as meaningful indexing for fast retrieval of information. This browser allows the user to save or merge new data into already open documents for later use.

I call it Intuition. It works on Windows and Macintosh computers and the files created by either are cross-platform deliverable. It currently is sold for $49 USD but I'm considering making it free. If it goes free it will have active advertising and positioned URL linking in its basic search modal. So what I have is a new network and very little to surf at this point. I've invented the new MTML net and browser, now all that is needed is a user base. You can look at a Demo form of the browser at www.gizmotron.org/intuition where you can download it.

I'm wondering what anyone might think of the advertising / search engine modal for making money off the new technology. Search engine placement and advertising looks like the best way to go for me.

Welcome to the SEW Beta Test Section, gizmotron and feel at home.

You may want to check this:

1. It appears in the http://www.gizmotron.org/intuition/examples/index.html page the first two links are not working. You may want indicate that the third and fourth links download zip files.

2. Could you put a working demo online, so user don't need to download anything?

Good luck with your search tool and browser technology.

Cheers!

Welcome to the SEW Beta Test Section, gizmotron and feel at home.

Thanks for your welcome.

"You may want to check this:

Yes, I just found out today that a serverbeach server that I was using was shut down. I will move those files over to my own site soon. I was letting people download video examples of using Intuition that were more than 25 meg to download. Anyway those zip files are meant to be downloaded, unzipped, and then opened with Intuition.

"2. Could you put a working demo online, so user don't need to download anything?"

Yes. Like I mentioned before this is preliminary about making it free. The current modal requires that the user saves the file when it is downloaded. Save is one of the features that doesn't work in the Demo mode. I'm currently looking at a Mac X version that has an extra advertising pane running down the right side. I have a search engine search window that opens from the file menu.

A way to see anything as a browser now is to enter this URL into the File/MTML Link inside Intuition when it is running:
http://www.leveltron.com/intnet/intport.txt

Once you download this file using the File/MTML Link menu item you will be able to merge these files and view them. Sorry for all these restrictions, this all works fine in the purchased mode.

P.S. All that MLM stuff at the leveltron site will be taken down soon also and changed out to an advertising & marketing plan. There is no point in marketing this in that way.

Thanks, I'm going to have a free version with a much better example of my search engine working very soon. Give me at least a week. I'm mostly interested in getting an opinion on selling advertising rather than selling the software that runs it. If I had 1,000,000 valid and quality users, educators, news outlets, businesses, and publishers, and the like would selling positioning as sponsored links be a worth approach to marketing?

Thanks,
Mark

OK, all those broken links are fixed now.

Thanks for any responses to this. I'm trying to get input from the group that advocates search engine placement the most. That's you on this forum. Perhaps I'm not seeing something that is obvious to most of you.

Thanks,

Mark
