K-Fed Search Engine?
By Julia Patterson on Wednesday, March 28th, 2007So, in the bizarreness that is celebrity endorsements, Kevin Federline, (aka K-Fed, Fed-Ex, aka white-trash baby daddy and bad rapper) has his own search engine. You heard that correctly. So, on this beautiful Wednesday, let me encourage you to explore the web via: http://searchwithkevin.prodege.com/ where you have a chance of winning a prize from him such as a copy of his new album or an invite to his birthday party. Wow. I’m speechless. Thanks?
If you aren’t enticed by Kevin’s generous offer, perhaps you’d like to benefit someone else while you search. There are several search engines that donate to selected charities every time you search. EveryClick and Click4theCause are good bets for your magnanimous searches… Microsoft gives wads of their money pile to AIDS Charity ninemillion.org every time you search via Click4theCause. EveryClick (and other sites like it) give a portion of their revenue each month to a selected charity.
My question: Are these charity sites any good at searching? I’m curious to hear your feedback.
Thanks to Dumb Terminal Live! for the idea. http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/dumb-terminal/2007/03/nine_million.html
Wow. I don’t know what’s worse, this ridiculous search engine or that Britney somehow is making HIM look like the better parent of the two. Or that I even know that. Move to strike this comment from the records.
I’m afraid to search on this site in fear that I might actually WIN his record or an invite to his b-day party.
I was not aware of the other search engines or the idea of having your own search engine was worth anything. Kevin trashing aside (that has been done well by all here already) this is a curious thing for me that starts brewing all kinds of ideas for peer to peer search. Celebrities have their own clothing line, perfume and so forth, but to have their own social network - were you can search for something and the results are ranked based on what your favorite celeb thinks is worthy, both intrigues and scares me.
Now that is intriguing… allowing searches to be influenced by the celebrity that sponsors it…. Would the expense of that ever be justified? I am contemplating the complexity of the AI/algorithm behind such a search, mimicking the priorities of a celebrity.
Ok, I take that back… for the simple minded celebrity like K-Fed it would look something like this:
Filter search by 40 oz., biatches, cash money, sell out, herbal viagra.
Done.
