Grotica Search Engine
No, Google is not unveiling a new erotica search engine, despite what this press release posted on pressbox.co.uk (and now linked to by a number of blogs) claims:
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – September 15, 2005 – Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) announced today its plans to enter the lucrative adult content market with a new search engine that will be kept separate from its main line of search services.
Called Grotica, the new service uses sophisticated image processing tools to automatically categorize still photos and movies according to subject matter and degree of explicitness. Google's powerful keyword search functions have been further enhanced for this application with over 3000 synonyms for anatomical terms and erotic activities.

too bad its not real...sounds delightful.

If it were real, it would be a profitable site, as 1 of 5 searches on the internet is for adult entertainment sites. Google, if they were to do this, would gain control of almost all searches, thus becoming an even greater search engine than they already are.

I guess nobody uses the term "ogle" anymore to mean "look at with sexual appreciation," because "Go Ogle" would be *my* choice of the name for the hoax erotica search system.

I agree with Sharky. Maybe MOH should invest in creating an erotic search engine - think of all the money Alex!

Only 1 of 5?
Wow.
And, cvirtue, I think that every time I use it.

I believe it is at Booble.com. Don't ask me how I found that out.

"automatically categorize still photos and movies according to subject matter and degree of explicitness"
Hahaha Now I've heard it all. Not in the next 50 years!

My name is James Grotica. Life is full of coincidences, eh?

While I have heard of the Booble site before it's *NOT* related to Google.
