==Company overview==
Genieo Innovation was founded in April 2008 by Sol Tzvi and Jacob Tenenboem, with the goal of developing a personalization platform which, unlike common platforms, resides solely on the user's computer and enables desktop application providers to add personalization capabilities without jeopardizing the user's privacy. Based on concepts of text mining, behavioral targeting and personalization algorithms, Genieo has developed a framework that can automatically discover, manage and filter feeds according to users' topics of interest. On July 2008, the company raised initial funding from private investors〔(Genieo Raises $3 Million in Seed Round for Homepage Personalization Engine )〕 and began developing the core of its personalization and recommendation engine. During 2009 the company developed and released its first product, a dynamic homepage that utilizes Genieo's personalization framework to automatically create a personal newspaper-like homepage on the user's browser.
The software installs itself onto computers and makes it almost impossible for users to remove it. It hijacks the user's browser and tracks browser usage with the intention of mining information. Users complain that it acts like a virus and they need to run special programs to remove it.
Genieo Homepage limited version was released at September 2009,〔(Create a Personal Homepage Without Lifting a Finger )〕 and the beta version was launched at the Demo2010 conference on March 2010.〔(DEMO: Genieo takes automatically generated homepages mobile )〕 Genieo's website has been down and it is suspected that it has changed its name to InKeepr,〔()〕
