U.S. print publication featuring MoreGoogle?

MoreGoogle is getting a lot of traffic from the U.S.; looks like a print publication has mentioned MoreGoogle, because people are coming in by typing "www.moregoogle.com" in their browser.

Can anyone please let me know which publication that would be? (A scan of the page would be extra cool ;) =

Thanks!!

GOOGLEPHILE ADDS ANOTHER SEARCH VIEW


WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- A self-described fan of Google has produced a
free software program that adds thumbnail images of Web pages to
Google's search results page.


Andreas Pizsa told SearchEngineWatch that he developed "MoreGoogle" to
bring to Google (GOOG) "Amazon-like features such as user-ratings,
recommendations and reviews" to Web searches. MoreGoogle adds links to
find archived pages, related sites and a site's traffic statistics.


"Seeing a preview image is often useful when deciding whether to click
through to a particular page or not," wrote Chris Sherman, associate
editor of SearchEngineWatch, in reporting on the release of MoreGoogle.


Pizsa's program is available for download from a server in Austria,
where he lives. On the Web site (www.moregoogle.com), Pizsa said the
program doesn't include spyware or advertising.

It appeared in MIT Technology Review and reads as follows:

Google + Amazon = MoreGoogle
A nifty new program runs in the background as you surf Google and gives the search results a more Amazon-like appearance. For instance, every link appears with a thumbnail image of the Web page it links to. If you're searching for a product, say a rice cooker, the Google listing appears with price information and customer ratings from Amazon.
