   1 When looking for an activity in a bar or trying to find a good movie to watch
   2 it often seems difficult to find complete and correct information about the
   3 event. Hyperleap tries to solve problem of bad information giving by bundling
   4 the information from various sources and invest in good quality checking.
   5 Currently information retrieval is performed using site-specific crawlers, when
   6 a crawler breaks the feedback loop for fixing the it contains of different
   7 steps and requires someone with a computer science background. A crawler
   8 generation system has been created that uses directed acyclic word graphs to
   9 assist solving the feedback loop problem. The system allows users with no
  10 particular computer science background to create, edit and test crawlers for
  11 \textit{RSS} feeds. In this way the feedback loop for broken crawlers is
  12 shortened, new sources can be incorporated in the database quicker and, most
  13 importantly, the information about the latest movie show, theater production or
  14 conference will reach the people looking for it as fast as possible.
