Gune: Mobile Metasearch
January 6, 2010
A happy quack to the reader who alerted me to Gune, a mobile metasearch system. The reader’s link pointed me to “Gune, a New Mobile Search Engine.” The write up said:
The new Gune solution comes as a meta-search system, meaning that it looks over other websites and provides users with a single page of results, optimized for access from mobile phones and smartphones. At the same time, the solution consults other search engines to deliver the results, and the popular Google and Bing are on the list.
The developer of the service is Handcase, a developer of mobile software based in Brazil (where I used to live). You can reach the Gune service at this page. When I get more details, I will report them. Maybe I will have to make a trip to Brazil to research this company in person. In the meantime, a news release is here.

A freebie. I will report this to the Brazilian embassy in Washington, DC. I can hear the music of Carlinhos Brown now.
