NetCreations Launches "Sprockets and Cogs" Search Engine

[December 1, 1998] NetCreations Inc. of New York, an opt-in e-mail marketing company, has launched Sprockets and Cogs, a specialized search engine that indexes technical sites containing information for Web developers and programmers.
The brainchild of NetCreations Vice President of Technology Ryan Scott, Sprockets and Cogs allows developers to simultaneously search "cogs," or groupings of related Web sites, to zero in on the technical topics that they're looking for. For example, a developer looking for help with the PERL command, "sort," would select the PERL cog, then type in the relevant keyword to access a menu of links to related technical documentation.

Sprockets and Cogs is powered by PinPoint, NetCreations' personalized Web site search tool that brings the power of Internet indexing to individual sites.
