Search for Porn on Booble
Online pornography aficionados got a boost on Tuesday when a US entrepreneur launched a new search engine for raunchy internet material dubbed "Booble.com <http://www.booble.com/>".
An unnamed New York-based former internet executive has pumped his own money into the new Website that has styled itself as a light-hearted parody of the world's largest and best-known search engine, Google.com. The new service, which its founder said was intended to be "fun, but useful too," allows porn fiends to filter through more than 6000 hand-selected listings of internet adult content.
"I have a web development operation where there is a bit of a frat boy atmosphere, so we stumbled on Booble," said the founder, who requested anonymity to avoid being barred from his daughter's school softball games.
"What was a bit fun and a joke became a business. People like it. It makes people smile. It's funny and I think it'll grow," the man in his mid-40s said.
The adult sites to which Booble users will be directed have been filtered to exclude illegal or extremely hard-core material, using criteria including whether a site is worth the price it charges viewers and the quality of its images.
"It is fun, but there is a real story behind Booble in that it's hard to find good adult content," the founder said. "There are about 25 000 adult sites and a fraction of sites in really major categories like movies and music and sports, causing a lot of clutter and confusion."
