I'm proud eMediaweekly was the first and only publication to do that." Beverage World Group Acquired By Bill Communications, Inc.

Online Investor Magazine Unveils New Financial Search Engine Online Investor Magazine has announced the launch of OnlineInvestor.com, a comprehensive financial search engine. OnlineInvestor.com serves as the Internet companion to the print magazine created specifically for wired investors. OnlineInvestor.com allows users to locate detailed information on the web as well as collect data in specific areas of interest that can't be found in one location. Using OnlineInvestor.com's MagnetSearch search engine, visitors can locate detailed information on thousands of stocks and mutual funds in more than a dozen categories from more than 50 online sources. "OnlineInvestor.com allows web researchers to get a smart search of the financial world at any given time with the click of a button," explains Steve Harris, Online Investor publisher. "Using this special technology, investors can not only get a broad overview of the entire market, but also create reports on thousands of different stocks and funds with focused information that could take hours to locate manually. "OnlineInvestor.com does the searching and delivers a targeted list of links representing up-to- the-minute information on whatever investments the user defines.

The wide variety of free comics in the introductory gallery range from a love story for the hopeless romantics to a journey into a mystical land for the romanticists.

SearchIQ claims that some low profile search tools can help you find the information you are looking for far more quickly than the big name search engines.
