“Mobile search is broken. The search industry is conceivably the only industry that looks virtually the same as it did a decade ago, yet the platforms that we use to search the web have changed significantly,” said Alan Nowogrodski, co-founder and CEO of Kickvox. “Mobile users don-t want a laundry list of sites and cluttered text they need to squint in order to read; they want visually rich content that makes it easy to pinpoint what they need and move on.”

Kickvox, still in beta, is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity with its intuitive interface that is designed for smaller screens and often awkward keyboards.
