Say hello to Goojje, a Chinese search engine that looks remarkably like one we've seen before. It launched on January 14, and yes, it's filtered for less flavor.

The way the name works is this: Jie Jie (Goojje) is mandarin for sister, while "ge ge" (Google) means big brother (er, shouldn't that be the other way round?) The Web Monster (ie, the real one) is being exhorted to stay by its sino-doppelganger, with a message on Goojje that reads, "Sister was very happy when brother gave up the thought of leaving and stayed for sister."

The figure behind Goojje is said to be a female student from Guangdong, who's been calling for help developing the search engine - translated, I guess that means it's open source.

I thought that Elgoog was quite popular in China, at least for a while. This looks pretty humorous. They even make knock offs of our search engines now!
Elgoog is only popular because of the banning of google and the fact that because everything is in reverse it bypasses chinese filters.

Gee, this looks familiar. Maybe I'll use it to look up Google.

FYI, the motherland is Africa.

No, it's Africa. Africa is where manking first appeared. We then spread out across the globe, evolving into different races along the way.

History: look it up

Fine, considered pulling out of China. I should start being more conservative about half of the news related stuff I post.

Read about this on another site (can't remember which). I wonder how long it'll last in it's current form.

Actually, no, it's not BS:

The term "Motherland" is very often applied to Africa due to it being the origin of humanity and civilization.

What kind of question is that? That's like asking why everyone from England isn't white. You stated it yourself, people evolved, and in that evolution, gained different skin color.

It's still more of a theory than anything, just because Mitochondrial Eve/Adam link back there doesn't mean it's true.

As for Africa being the origin of civilisation, there doesn't seem to be much there now

Hehe, this is old news.

??[jie jie] means older sister, not just sister, hence why they chose the name
wink.gif


Gizmondo's reporting is inaccurate, Google China (??) [gu ge] sounds a bit like ?? [ge ge] or older brother. So they've chosen the name as a parody.
