Sooner or later users will be getting Apollo installed onto their machines, which will not be the case with Google Desktop.

Firstly, I think the investment was made in regards to their China website. As i read in other blogs Koolanoo Group is the name of the company and Koolanoo.com is not their website, or not their source of business activity. The company is not Israeli based, its actually HK and China- Correcting information is needed to get a clear picture. I am in property investments but I can see the huge potential of entering the China online space. I think its a bold move, but definitly worth the risk- and by the way who the hell uses Alexa as a realistic measuring scale? Re Koolanoo. read the blog above.
