Koogle: Vertical Search Engine
June 16, 2009
Short honk: Extreme Tech reported a vertical search engine called Koogle. Developed in Israel, the system has been designed for orthodox Jews. Details appear in “Devout Jews Launch Kosher Search Engine”. The story reported:
The site, at www.koogle.co.il, omits religiously objectionable material, such as most photographs of women which Orthodox rabbis view as immodest, Altman [company executive] said. Its links to Israeli news and shopping sites also filter out items most ultra-Orthodox Israelis are forbidden by rabbis to have in their homes, such a television sets.
More information will be posted when it comes to me.
