Search Engine Introduces Tool to Aid in New Digital Music & Entertainment Discovery

EMERYVILLE, Calif., July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- SeeqPod, the world's only 'Playable Search and Discovery' engine, announced today a new service, specially curated 'PodLists'. Digging for new music is tough work, and SeeqPod knows this first-hand. 'PodLists' are designed to help users enjoy and discover new audio content, located on the landing page at http://www.seeqpod.com/, with one click.

PodLists are a series of customized playable compilations developed and delivered daily from SeeqPod's Discovery-Curation Team. Each day, fresh PodLists will be featured on the SeeqPod landing page, with the ultimate goal of making digital entertainment discovery easier than ever.

"SeeqPod is an organization built on the concept of discovery," says Kasian Franks, co-founder and CEO, SeeqPod Inc. "When people have millions of different options to choose from, discovering and deciding what to listen to, watch or read becomes tough. To help out, we put together a team to do a lot of the work for you."

The SeeqPod Discovery-Curation team has been charged with the task of leading fans through a labyrinth of SeeqPod playable search results, introducing fresh content you can groove to daily; satisfying a wide variety of tastes. The beauty of this journey is the listener's ability to act immediately if a particular artist piques their interest. In fact, for avid SeeqPod lovers, thinking 'outside the pod' is more than encouraged, it's irresistible.

SeeqPod.com crawls billions of Web pages to deliver over 12 million 'Playable Search' results -- meaning, millions of songs, podcasts, videos, and Wikipedia files at each visitor's fingertips. Through research and user feedback solicited by SeeqPod, the company has learned that many consumers feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content, when faced with the choices they need to make when they go to any of the meta-search engines. Due to the accuracy, depth and breadth of the results and unique UI at SeeqPod, whose algorithm was developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), it is now easier for people to find and play what they are looking for. While the co-founders were working to match genes to diseases and diseases to drugs that cure, they realized this technology could be applied to many vertical areas, thus, Music and Digital Entertainment was an obvious choice.
