Story Text:
AnooX the Search Engine That Promises to Deliver Better Search Results and Much Lower Cost of Online Advertising Than Yahoo! or Google.

First, generates the search results based on our proprietary machine generation methods, which alone delivers excellent search results,
And secondly, allows users who have become voting members to vote for the search results. Voting members' votes are based on the most democratic principal of 1 man/woman 1 vote per keyword (candidate) -- with the search results then continuously updated as per the majority votes of voting members.

Seems to have some old results in there and could be a bit quicker for sure.

- Y! MyWeb

 

Do they really expect people to use the bag of shite interface or what? Check out all the advertising pitches and links all over the MF..

and did you notice

"NetDIVE is a name that you can trust to deliver: after all NetDIVE has already developed and delivered some of the leading Internet software products including the free Oxygen web browser, the 2nd gateway to the Internet beside the Search Engine."

From the oxygen site:

Quote:
It is free for use by individuals and businesses. But we do ask you to make a very small $29.95 contribution toward its development and offering. Educational institutions and charitable organizations may obtain Oxygen without making the small $29.95 contribution, please contact Oxygen team in this case.

Sign up ?

After a bit of digging, I found how become a "voting member"

Quote:
An applicant can verify their identity by choosing to pay a $5.00 deposit by a unique credit card (which is refundable after a short period) or to send in a notarized copy of their photo identification.

Who's going to be the first with the credit card then?

Kind of having fun with it

It's nice to get some "Do these sites exist" results. Just typed in Shanghai, the city where I live, and found out there is a Darts League. They are no.2.

What a friggin' joke

Just tried this dog, and this is what I got: A javascript dialog box saying

"Sorry, AnooX is temporarily out of service for work on the Servers. This work will be done as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. We expect that this work should not take more than 6 hours. Thank you, staff of AnooX."

Truly pathetic.
