The result of that research is a time-saving, frustration-reducing Internet tool that that learns from your use. Ultimately, individual users can start to train a virtual replica of themselves that finds relevant information for them in that vast world of data we commonly call the Internet.

Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) December 20, 2007 — You’re on a mission, collecting info from documents, old emails, obscure websites and arcane blogs for your latest report on the state of global warming. In the past, you gnashed your teeth over the task. But today, you’re smiling because you’re using TrueThinker™, a new online tool that makes learning and sharing information about any topic easier and faster because it actually learns how you manage information.

Available today at TrueThinker.com, TrueThinker

• automatically categorizes your website links, after its patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology called the “AutoGnome™” learns about what data you save and how you organize it;
• helps you manage files, RSS feeds, links, images and more and;

Background
TrueThinker is a new Internet tool created by As It Is, Inc., and is available today at TrueThinker.com. TrueThinker arises from 40 years of Artificial Intelligence (AI) related research that will influence the evolution of the Internet far beyond its current state.

Through general Artificial Intelligence, TrueThinker helps Internet users efficiently save, organize, and share their documents and website links. TrueThinker learns by studying what users save and how they organize information, using a patented AI application called the AutoGnome™.

The current version of TrueThinker has three prime components — My TrueThinker, My KnowledgeBank, and My Communities. These each allow users to organize and manage all of the website links, as well as files, that they wish to store, or to share with their Communities.

TrueThinker delivers three key capabilities: knowledge organization (learning), knowledge creation (thinking), and knowledge applications (acting). With its unique and novel AutoGnomic foundation for these functionalities, TrueThinker will evolve into the ubiquitous product that will transform the computer into an effective learning, thinking, and acting machine.

The My TrueThinker webpage serves as a Daily Dashboard or homepage that users can personalize as their portal to the internet. The My KnowledgeBank page is where users manually or automatically — via their trained AutoGnome — store their selected relevant and valued information for easy retrieval. The My Communities page is where users join or organize groups of people with the same social, business, research, or other common interests in order to share resources and hold discussions, publicly or privately.

Because TrueThinker users can create their own private or public communities to collect and share information, users:

• More easily and quickly increase knowledge in their areas of interest.
• Access their TrueThinker-organized bookmarks and files from any computer.

Users can organize their bookmarks and files, and they can access these from any computer. As they use the AutoGnome, TrueThinker’s underlying technology learns how they organize and classify information, so that TrueThinker can do this for users after an appropriate learning period. TrueThinker users can build online communities to organize and share knowledge. TrueThinker is not a search engine. It is a means for Internet users to organize and personalize how they use the information they can acquire from — and share on — the Internet.

A major difference between the AutoGnome and most other AI-based Internet applications is that the AutoGnome creates its own knowledge structure without human intervention. Most other AI Internet knowledge management applications require that humans develop a data structure before they are useful.

Today, “semantic web” is considered the next state of the art for new Internet tools. The term “Artificial Intelligence” also is used in regard to new Internet tool development. As TrueThinker evolves through its planned versions over the next few years, the semantic web will be but one level of AI functionality.

With TrueThinker, the evolution of the Internet might look like this, where the AutoGnome is the technology that will enable Web 7.0:
Web 1.0 > 2.0 > 3.0 > 4.0 > 5.0 > 6.0 > 7.0

• Web 1.0 – Syntactic Web. Has been available for several years.
• The “original” Internet. Deals with the structure of symbols.
• No automated tools for sharing knowledge.
• Searches based on spelling or structure.
• Web 2.0 – Syntactic-based Social Web (e.g., MySpace, Facebook & LinkedIn). Available now.
• Social networks enable sharing of information, but still are based on the Syntactic Web.
• Web 3.0 – Semantic Web (the current hype for new search tools such as Hakia or Twine). Available mostly in Beta form now.
• Includes Web 2.0 features, plus the ability to seek and organize information based on meaning, rather than just structure.
• Web 4.0 – Semantic-based Social Web. Future availability.
• Web 5.0 – Pragmatic Web. Future availability.
• Internet information searched and organized based on the context of information usage.
• Web 6.0 – Pragmatic-based Social Web. Future availability.
• Web 7.0- AutoGnomic Web. Available now in early form through TrueThinker.
• The AutoGnomic Web holistically incorporates the Syntactic, Semantic, and Pragmatic functionalities and anticipates a new computing paradigm.

Here is a definition of the Pragmatic Web — Web 5.0 & 6.0 — from Wikipedia:

“The Pragmatic Web consists of the tools, practices, and theories describing why and how people use information. In contrast to the Syntactic Web and Semantic Web, the Pragmatic Web is not about form or meaning of information. The transformation of existing information into information relevant to a group of users or an individual user includes the support of how users locate, filter, access, process, synthesize, and share information.”TrueThinker’s AutoGnome technology incorporates Pragmatic Web 5.0, and Pragmatic Social Web 6.0 features, and delivers the benefits of Web 7.0, the AutoGnomic (Semiotic) Web. The present goal of As It Is, Inc., is the creation of Web 7.0 through a Pragmatic Action Methodological approach to both a Synthetic Mind and Virtuality. This is called the AutoGnomic Intellisite™.

This is seen as potentially more useful to the majority of Internet users than is expected from the current research being conducted by other developers of Artificial Intelligence tools. Non-AutoGnome-based AI tools restrict other researchers by the absence of a standard theory of mind.

You have all read them, offline anyway, in papers, magazines and journals among other places. Well online classified ads work the same way. You write a headline, description and post some contact details for potential buyers to get in touch with you. Offline classifieds would direct people to a phone number while online classified ads would contain your URL and an email address.

[eminimall products="software"]

Offline you’ll have to pay for almost all classifieds you post, however online there are thousands of free sites which will allow you to post your ad and of course there are plenty of low-cost sites which will also except your ad.

Apart from the fact you can get free classifieds online, online ads have a few advantages compared to offline ones.

The Internet has a much much larger audience than your local or national newspaper has so more people can potentially see your ad and act upon it.

You can post your ads online and you could have feedback and sales within a very short time as usually people just have to click on your URL for more info rather than make a phone call or send a letter.

Ads that are placed online are much cheaper than their offline counterparts, this is because space is not tight on the Internet as it is in a magazine or newspaper.

A user looking for a particular product can usually perform a search for a particular word or phrase from the classified ad site whereas offline people have to manually scan through the different categories.

A disadvantage of online classified ads to the webmaster is that it can be quite time consuming to do especially if you want any sort of success with them, which you obviously do. However many good pieces of software are becoming available which can automatically submit your ad to lots of these sites, they aren’t cheap but if you’re interested try doing a search for ‘classified ad software’ or something similar on Google.com or Yahoo.com.

Let’s get on to the good part, how to make the most out of posting to classified ads. Stay specific, always post to the most appropriate category or categories there are, this way you’ll be posting to an area where people will actually be interested in your product, this is vital.

Remember especially with free classified sites that a lot of other webmasters will be trying to promote their products and websites with ads too so you’ll have to repost your ad regularly to stay near the top of the bunch, nobody will even see your ad if it’s at the bottom of another 50 ads, will they?

Now on to the actual copy of your ad, since few classified sites allow you to post graphics you’ll have to rely on your headline to grab the attention of the people scanning the ads in front of them. You can do this by using words like ‘free’, ‘secrets’, ‘how-to’ and other words which will make them curious to find out more. If you can, include your keywords in your headline as some classified sites will use the headline as the link to your site this in turn will help you when the search engines examine your link popularity.

Always target your market, if you sell a product for webmasters mention ‘webmasters’ in the headline and body, next you should mention what your product will do for them (i.e. the benefits of it. – how will it make their life easier).

I have read this in numerous places and now you’re going to read it too, the idea with classified ads is to generate interest and not to actually sell anything there and then, that’s far to hard to do, you want to get the reader wanting more information and you should give this to them through your website or autoresponder. This is why your ad body should always be short, concise and to the point, a big long page sales letter will scare people off.

Follow the above few tips and you should see some results, before you go I want to put this to you. Which is better paid or free classifieds? Well for me paid classifieds have always produced much better results, I think this is because advertising in “Free Classified Sites” has now become an almost automated task which means not many people actually visit and respond to classified ads. Submission spiders are wonderful creatures but aren’t often interested in clicking on your well-crafted classified ad.

Two of the best places where you can place fee based ads which do bring results are AOL.com and Yahoo.com. Good luck!
