The Real Name System is a way to locate Web sites using a technology that allows consumers to navigate using real words and phrases instead of URLs.
For users, Real Name addresses make it easy to go directly to a Web site or page. For brand owners, the Real Name System provides a straightforward way to promote their Web sites, brands and even copyrighted phrases to users. Companies can maintain Real Name addresses for $40 per year, per address and can subscribe to the Real Name System from AltaVista’s search results page.
Said Bob Hult, vice president and general manager of Digital’s AltaVista Search service: “Now advertisers can leverage a direct association with a users search for a brand or product by registering with the Real Name System and having the direct links to that brand or product available on AltaVista result pages.”
“centraal chose to partner first with AltaVista because they get more searches per day than any other search engine and therefore are in a position to understand the pressing need for the Real Name System,” said Keith Teare, founder and CEO of centraal. “This endorsement by Digital’s AltaVista demonstrates confidence in centraal to provide highly scaleable and innovative technology with exceptionally relevant result sets.”
Palo Alto, CA-based centraal is a start up company that created Real Name, an Internet naming solution for its customers and partners and an intuitive navigation system for Internet users who merely type the name instead of a URL.
