Nations Media Partners Hired by kozoru to Facilitate Strategic Partnerships

8211;- Nations Media Partners, a boutique investment bank specializing in media and telecommunications transactions, announced today that it has been hired by kozoru, Inc. to exclusively represent them in on-going discussions with strategic partners for their byoms's8482; mobile search technology.



's8220;Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL, Google, and InterActive Corp. would all benefit from the byoms technology,'s8221; said Matt Rice of Nations Media Partners. 's8220;We's8217;re also approaching companies like DoubleClick, Looksmart, Adknowledge.com and mobile media companies in Asia. The next winner in search will be whoever can best interface with the IM Generation, and once a strategic partner integrates byoms's8217; monetization component, their advertising model will be significantly enhanced.'s8221;



Byoms, which stands for 's8220;build your own mobile search,'s8221; allows users to create a personalized, search feed from the sites they trust. Users then query and find targeted responses to their questions through a chat interface, via either a desktop AIM client or AIM-enabled mobile phone. Utilizing kozoru's8217;s patent pending Natural Language Response's8482; algorithm to enhance relevance, users receive full-sentence responses to their queries, instead of thousands of results. Currently, byoms leverages AOL's8217;s industry-leading chat client, and soon users will be able to create feeds for their Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, and Jabber clients. Users can find existing byoms or create a new feed at www.byoms.com.



's8220;By allowing a much higher degree of personalization, byoms is doing for search what MySpace did for social networking,'s8221; said John Flowers, founder and CEO of kozoru. 's8220;Byoms gives users the power to make the search experience their own, and that is the future of search, instant messaging, and social networks.'s8221;
