where the Future Scanner comes in...

New York, NY -- December 5, 2007 - MemeBox.com proudly announces the
Public Beta release of its first application, the Future Scanner
(futurescanner.net <http://futurescanner.net/> ), a community-powered
app that organizes info about the future by year and category.
Dedicated to the cutting-edge stories shaping our tomorrow, the MemeBox
Future Scanner is an essential part of every forward-thinking person's
toolkit.  

"Everywhere you look these days, people are talking about the future,"
points out MemeBox CEO, Jeff Hilford, "There is a growing body of
fascinating and flat-out cool future-related content scattered across
the internet.  The Future Scanner aggregates this thought-provoking
material and presents it in a visually appealing, easily searchable
manner."

Whether you're out surfing for leading-edge content, or seriously
researching trends, the Future Scanner is a great place to start.  Where
else can you easily find links like "Brain-Computer Interface for Second
Life", "Robotic Pied Piper Leads Roaches" and "Nanoscale Inkjet
Printing"?

"Already, the Future Scanner is a tool that I look forward to using
every day," says Alvis Brigis, MemeBox President, "In addition to
offering cool, stimulating links that are fun to read, it keeps me aware
of what's going on, providing me with a broader sense of context across
a variety of fields.  I'm confident that we're well on our way to
building a novel and comprehensive resource that people will enjoy and
find very useful."

MemeBox plans to quickly add new features to the Future Scanner and then
to complement it with other powerful applications. 

Jeff Hilford, CEO, says, "From a broader perspective, our goal here at
MemeBox is to create a rich, interactive playground that allows people
to explore the future and see how accelerating technological change will
increasingly affect their everyday lives."
