Discover and Share the Best of the Web with PrkL8 for iPhone
Personalized Web Discovery with Easy Sharing on Facebook
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., March 31 -- PrkL8 today announced the launch of its free mobile discovery engine that provides an ongoing stream of interesting and entertaining web pages gleaned from sites all over the world. The PrkL8 (http://www.PrkL8.com) app searches the web for cool content such as trivia, intriguing images, how-to's and news with the push of a button and offers the opportunity to share instantly on Facebook.
PrkL8 allows users to discover and share eclectic web content by suggesting completely random articles, images and sites based on topics selected by the user. Continue to personalize the experience by pushing the "love" or "hate" buttons and PrkL8 will track preferences and provide new, more targeted suggestions each time the PrkL8 button is hit.
"Search is for when you have to do something. What about when you're bored and have a few minutes to kill? Waiting at a bus stop? Stuck in a useless meeting? That's where PrkL8 shines," said Chris Mills, CTO of PrkL8. "Press a button to see something cool. Press a button to let us know if you love or hate what you see. Press a button to share what you see with your friends. PrkL8 makes surfing the web more like channel surfing and less like talking to a reference librarian."
To get started, download the free app and provide an email address to register. Select subjects of interest such as sports, movies, entertainment news and travel to provide PrkL8 with a starting point for content suggestions.
