    Webmunism.com - Challenging the Specter of Google

    webmunism

    Webunism is not a more florid electronic form of Comintern. It is a hybrid media gallery and search engine. The emphatic and punchy visuals say it all, ‘Words. Pictures. Videos. Unite!´. It invites, with its colorful catalogue of pictures, searchers of the world to congregate and file through all sorts of knowledge. Each topic self-categorizes into ‘webmunes´ which is comprised of all related media assembled by the sorting engine. So, say you search ‘swing mob artists,´ which happens to be in today´s top webmunes, you will find photos of Aaliyah, videos of Timbaland and Nelly Furtado, and albums from Ginuwine and again Aaliyah. A side bar shows you related webmunes for your perusing pleasure. All content is pulled from recognized sites such as Flickr, YouTube, last.fm and Amazon. Webmunism has just pulled out a nifty meta search engine specifically for videos, so you´ll be able to search millions of videos throughout the web. It´s completely free to use and registering is an option.

    In their own words

    “Part search engine, part multimedia gallery, Webmunism is a new service for finding online pictures, videos, albums, and knowledge, all united into self-organizing categories. Each category is called a "webmune" and is composed of all the media which our automatic categorization engine places into the webmune.”

    Why it might be a killer

    Webmunism features a great collection of media pulled from popular sites. It´s free to use and provides a nice alternative to Google.

    Some questions


    Webmunism essentially gets its content from other sites, using their API´s to compile the results; basically there´s nothing new there, except that Webmunism makes a tidy income from the adverts they host, which is rather ironic considering its namesake. Webmunism´s results could be organized in a more organized manner, and it could be much faster in providing results.
