Briteclick Blog

The blog is going through a makeover… stay tuned…

Home sweet home!  After an exciting but draining week in SF, it’s awesome to be back in NY.  The whole TC50 experience over the past few months, from the application and interview process until now, was tough but well worth it.  We met some great people, saw new technologies, and of course, we introduced our product.  Our demos went extremely well, and we got a great response from investors, media, and fellow startup companies.

Here are a couple of mentions from across the web:

AFP / Yahoo News:

BriteClick showed off a tool that lets people search the Internet without ever leaving a desired web page. For example, someone reading a news story could learn more about terms by simply highlighting them in the article.

• Andrew Fielding: “Briteclick is basically what Ubiquity is, except that this is a product that does much more than Ubiquity. It does not require any weird keystroke combinations, allows easy access to more information and is much more useful than just simple search abilities that I find Ubiquity provides. I’m baffled that this company is not on the stage for TC50… more“

We’ve had an incredible and extremely busy week at TechCrunch50 and we’ll have an in-depth recap for you shortly. Check back for pix of the conference including Mark Cuban, MC Hammer, and a handful of Cewebrities.

Until tomorrow, here’s a great review of Briteclick from AltSearchEngines.com entitled “Briteclick Adds Innovation To Search Industry”

“Briteclick provided its first sneak preview of its new search application at the TechCrunch50 Conference — the premier launchpad for the world’s most promising early-stage Internet companies.  With global search engine usage continuing to flourish as the #1 activity on the Internet, Briteclick has developed an application that simplifies the way people search and complete tasks on the web… more here“
