MashLogic for Firefox is a browser extension that analyzes web pages in real time, manages browser links and gives web users additional information upon demand from the sources they trust. "MashLogic is a natural partner for docstoc," said Jason Nazar, CEO and co-founder of docstoc. "With over 1.5 million quality, professional documents in our database, docstoc provides another layer of information for MashLogic's information-hungry audience. MashLogic's platform increases the visibility of documents, presentations and files uploaded by docstoc members." "In empowering users to personalize their web experience by relinking & remixing content, MashLogic is creating a new search paradigm," explains co-founder and CEO of MashLogic, Ranjit Padmanabhan. "Search engines divert users from reading content to entering keywords into a search engine, which has no contextual or personal understanding of their intent. MashLogic considers user preferences, page context and the underlying semantics to show a precise, targeted, and rich set of results including high quality documents from the docstoc professional document database. This takes place on the current page, making for a seamless user experience." About MashLogic MashLogic is building a platform that enables users to personalize and enrich their web experience.
