We’ve been ecstatic over here at our Mountain View office, to see the official launch of three of our beta products:RightAutos, RightTrips, and our flagship product, RightHealth.

This launch represents years of development based on algorithm-based categorization. RightHealth already receives more than 2.5 million visits and serves 9 million searches a month. With the internet increasingly becoming the starting point for information, it comes as no surprise that people with aches, pains, or sniffles increasingly come to RightHealth to get health answers. And with 50 million uninsured Americans, the web has become an invaluable resource for attempts at self-diagnosis.

Without the tireless work and talents of the Kosmix team this launch would have been pretty anticlimactic. Our UI designer, Brian Tharp, provided the intelligent and sophisticated design to bring our topic home pages to the next level. Mohan Gummalam and the rest of the Application Development team ran with the design and made sure it integrated into our architecture. Nagraj Kulkarni, as usual, went the extra mile to see that production cluster made it to the live site. Saumil Mehta, our talented product manager for Health, seemed to live at the office to make sure each and every detail was accounted for in the new RightHealth product. In fact, the entire Kosmix staff really pulled together to insure the launch of our beta products, and it unfortunately would take up multiple blogs to detail each and every person’s important contribution.

With our categorization technology, and goal to create an unofficial homepage for any topic on the web, getting information for travel, autos, and health queries just got easier.
