Yebol

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It never ceases to amaze me that even when it seems like there is a clear leader in a particular genre, other companies will pop up with competing products. The cynic in me thinks “why are you trying to reinvent the wheel?” But the entrepreneur in me thinks, “good for you, give them hell!”

So it’s with mixed feelings that I tell you about Yebol, a new semantic search engine that has audacity to take on the other guys.

Yebol is a new(ish) semantic search engine that’s still in beta. But what makes Yebol unique is 1) within 2 months, it will be able to return semantic results for every conceivable search query and, where necessary, index in real-time – the holy grail of semantic search! and 2) its adult content filters are enabled by default and cannot be disabled (which is sure to be contentious!).

Note that, despite being in beta, Yebol is already able to generate more semantic results than either Bing or Kosmix.

Note that Yebol are currently holding a monthly draw (for $25 Amazon vouchers). To be in with a chance of winning, people simply need to become a Facebook fan and provide feedback.

Give it a try; it’s something different, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
