[Reader-list] INDIA'S FIRST LOCAL INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE

[s.]

s|s, it looks like an ambitious vertical search engine, i send about 200
queries, very interesting performance, it is very india centric even while
throwing up results from blogger etcetra. i also see the originators of
baazi.com as angel funders, so perhaps it is just a technology concept which
will be acquired by a search major eventually.

got a URL for your FOSS fellowship project somewhere?
