Search engine switches to Picsearch to increase quality - Swedish image search engine powers Canadian Twerq

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 20, 2007 - It was announced today that the Canadian based Twerq, is using Picsearch to power their new search engine. The Twerq search engine offers a tabbed search interface directly integrated in the web page, which enables the use of many new features in comparison to using a traditional search engine interface. Wesley Long, Founder and inventor of Twerq, said "We are switching to Picsearch to be able to offer our users the best possible image search. Previous to switching to Picsearch, we carefully studied the image search market. It is beyond any doubt that Picsearch offers the most relevant and family friendly service.” The Twerq technology with tabbed search enables many practical and time saving features. Drag and drop tabs help the user rearrange and visually group search results. Twerq also offers possibilities to refine and preset your searches to find what you are looking for faster. You can for example do multiple simultaneous searches divided into different tabs. You can then browse through the tabs quickly identifying the most relevant results. Ability to save results for later use and other locations provides the user with flexibility. Twerq also contains a feature called Hive which enables the sharing and collaboration of information within a group of people. Robert Risberg, Picsearch's CEO said “Picsearch provides multimedia search to many of the largest websites in the world. But we also work with newly founded innovative companies like Twerq. Twerq has some very interesting features in their user interface which are truly unique. Working with pioneering companies is inspiring.” Approximately 11 percent of all searches on the Internet are image searches (Hitwise November 2006).
