June 16, 1998-- Glucose Development Corporation today announced the
immediate availability of Injection 1.0, a new web publishing tool that
automatically adds high-quality META tags to existing web pages.
Injection uses natural language algorithms to analyse each individual page
in a web site, extracting key words and topics, and then constructs META
keyword tags that reflect the content of each page. The newly created META
tags are then "injected" into each page.
To use Injection, a webmaster simply drops a web page-- or a folder
containing an entire web site-- onto Injection. Injection then processes
each page in the site, adding META tags as it goes.
In addition to producing META keyword tags automatically, Injection also
includes a suite of tools that allow the webmaster to specify arbitrary
custom META tags for insertion into a site.

[MD1] Programmers Online Forum Reopens
The Macintosh & PowerPC Programmers Forum on the Delphi online service has
just reopened after a complete overhaul. It provides a web site with some
news, but more importantly, MacProg provides moderated message boards and
conference rooms for serious (and sometimes not-so-serious) Macintosh
programming discussions.
"Moderated" means that although all messages are posted immediately, there
is staff available to help guide discussions to ensure that they remain
more or less relevant to Macintosh and PowerPC programming (unlike some
places, where message fascists edit every message before it gets posted).
The staff is also available to help answer your questions, and includes
professional Mac programmers, technical writers, and a couple of hobbyists
as well.
The Macintosh & PowerPC Programmers Forum's web site is located at

operated under contract by Syndicomm, Inc.
