LeapTag.com - The World According To You

The internet defined by you, catered to and personalized to your tastes and interestsâ€"this is what the collaborative filtering app LeapTag wishes to achieve. LeapTag wants to get up close and personal and learn what you like in order to help you make the most of your internet experience. This dynamic discovery tool works as a toolbar in your browser. To use it, just tag your interests as you surf, and LeapTag learns from there, producing results that can be further refined by a positive or negative vote. Your tags can be shared amongst your friends, allowing you access to their own tags and comment on them. LeapTag is a desktop application that requires downloading, unlike other similar apps. However, all your results are confined to your computer, which ensures your privacy, and as it runs on your own CPU, LeapTag is offered free of charge.

“When people surf the Internet they are often trying to discover something. It may not be as specific as a news item or a book. Often they are simply interested in something or other and trying to find out more about it. Sometimes these interests are short-lived, for example a sporting event like the World Cup or the Triple Crown race. Other times the interests may be life-long, like fly-fishing, cooking or politics. LeapTag enables you to discover the Internet on your own terms. You define your interests, show LeapTag a few examples of what you like, and it does the rest, scouring the Internet for relevant news, blogs, books - and more. LeapTag works on your computer, allowing you to discover your interests in total privacy.”

LeapTag offers you exactly what you what. Imagine LeapTag as your own personal assistant, someone who takes care of your needs, and knows what you like best; but, instead of having to demand over and over that you like your coffee without sugar, LeapTag learns your tastes quickly with a couple of tags. It´s convenient, easy to use and private; your results are kept on your PC.
