FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 6, 2006

SiteShuffle Launched at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego

Today marked the unveiling of a new application called "SiteShuffle".

SiteShuffle is a NEW Web application that turns a user's HOMEPAGE into a WEBSITE PLAYER, and gives users the ability to FF> or REW< through a LINKLIST of their favorite WEBSITES. SiteShuffle is EASY, FREE, ANONYMOUS, and PRIVATE.

Plus, users get automated RECOMMENDATIONS for other sites, based on their similarity to other users in the SiteShuffle system.

SiteShuffle presents a solution to a recently emerging "daily read" problem. Essentially, people take a "garden path" through the main portals. But, with the explosion in blogs and other alternate media, people have expanded their number of daily "reads".

SiteShuffle allows a user to compose a daily read of their favorite sites.

It's also eminently adaptable to mobile phones and other limited input devices since it's a 'click-only' interface for accessing Web pages.

"The interesting thing about SiteShuffle is that this just started as a hobby to keep us off the streets...quite frankly, we built SiteShuffle for our own use, and some of our friends seemed to like using it as well," says Grad Conn, one of the founders of SiteShuffle. "If more people hop on board, that's great, since it will improve the suggestions for all users in the system."

SiteShuffle is based on open source technologies such as MySQL, Linux, and Lighttpd. The application was built with Ruby on Rails and employs industry-leading AJAX technology.
