Indeed it sounds like a fairy tale!

It all began 18 months ago when an entrepreneur from Silicon Valley went in search of solving the Information Overload problem and ended up teaming with his alma mater to bring to market some of the academic research and innovations. Over the past 18 months we have devloped some cool technology that would help Internet users navigate through the Information Jungle easily.

In a few hours from now Minekey technology jumps out from the exotic jungles far in the east (read “IIT Research Labs” :-)) into THE REAL WORLD. Over the past 18 months we have conducted extensive tests in the Lab with our limited data and the data from a few early pilot customers. Now we are ready to take this forward and serve real customers in real time.

It is indeed a moment of excitement and deep gratitude for all of us at Minekey that every thing fell in place in time! Past 2 weeks have been very hectic for all of us at Minekey getting our production set up ready, completing the last minute tweaks and refinements etc.,

Today we are rolling out a FREE content recomendations service targeted at content rich web sites and blogs. Yes, indeed it is free! Bloggers and webmasters can deployMinekey’s Recommendations Widget on their web site or blog in 2 easy steps and in less than 5 minutes. We will continue to keep this service free. We may serve ads in the Recommendations Widget and we will also offer a premium service targeted at the Large Publishers. So why hesitate? Try It Now.

While we are quite confident that our technology can deliver content recommendations that are most relevant to the users in the context of the web pages or blog posts they are viewing; we are still not promising you the world yet. As we continue through the Beta phase of our Journey, we would like to work with the customers like you to improve the Quality of our Recommendations and the Quality of our Service over all. Please feel free to email us at feedback@minekey.com. Happy Minekeying.

Well, this is not a April Fools Joke. We are indeed working hard to launch the service later this month. Beacuse of our close connection with IIT Kharagpur (we have been incubating Minekey there); we have decided to do a small Beta Launch there on April 17th.

We just got some racks and bandwidth at Level 3 Datacenter in St. Louis. Minekey’s extended Operations/ Support team is working hard to set up IBM Production servers, Firewalls and Loadbalancers. We have indeed given a lot of attention to the availability, performance and scalability of the Infrastructure. Our extended Operations/ Suport team based out of US and India will monitor the systems on 24X7 to ensure high availability, performance and security.

We are indeed eagerly looking forward to serving you soon.
