Hello all,
Finally. gloofi is on new servers and the Index will be loaded by March 20th.
All this is very exciting and I hope that all of you like the new service gloofi will provide. New functions, like “Direct Match” powered by Semantic Technologies and customizable entries in the Index and Result will be available soon. The Index will allow to search in Billions of pages, although not all pages are approved yet, gloofi users can do so to create the best Index there is.
The Reward Point system will allow to get only high quality items into the index as only approved items are able to make it into the gloofi index. In conjunction, only users with enough Reward Points are able to approve new sites, thus improving the quality even further. Also, the Reward Point system allows to get a better knowledge about which item is more valuable for users since each email sent, each Bookmark created or each Comment written will be tied to the quality ranking of each user (The more Reward Points, the higher the quality ranking!).
About 100,000 advertisements will be loaded at start ramping to 1 Million in about 1 month time. eBay and Amazon items will also be available as advertisements on gloofi enabling gloofi to have more advertisements on the site than any other site in the world (This is a bold statement…but hey;-)))!
I am very excited to get gloofi out and let the users use it. Always remember, this is only a one man job, no Million Dollar investment or a bunch of people working on it, just one person doing this during free time.
Best,
Martin
