Changes to Zakta Website

Yesterday I received an e-mail message that included the following paragraph about changes to the Zakta website:

As you may have noticed, we recently updated the main Zakta.com site to provide a company overview of all the technologies and products we now offer.  The original Zakta.com search and guides functionality is still intact — it continues to be available at http://zakta.com/zakta but it is now branded zGuides.  There is no other functional difference whatsoever to this tool.
