Unamoo: The Invention of a Safer Search Engine

When you"re on the internet, it"s difficult to decide which search terms are safe and which are going to lead you to adult content web sites, sites with harmful downloads that can easily phish (pronounced fishing) your personal counsel or distribute harmful viruses. Still the most innocent search terms, like boys and girls, rainbow, and Mickey, can provide unsavory search results and potentially lead you or your children to web sites with images you don"t thirst for them to see, let alone yourself, your co-workers and your spouse. And you probably believe that the only solution is to spend hours loading some filter software on your pc you can"t figure absent or perhaps there"s just no solution at all. Adult content and images are everywhere on the internet and search engines, much the largest, are susceptible to being overrun with these web pages. Enter your keywords into your favorite search engine and, BOOM! , you"re hit with dozens of results, a noticeable per
centage of them dedicated to hardcore adult content. With the advent of ever popular image searches on all major search engines blatantly explicit images have reached epic proportions. But there is a solution. And it"s not the same search engine filters that you"re used to-the ones your 9-year-old knows how to turn off when you can"t all the more figure outside how to turn them on. It"s Unamoo a completely contemporary and clear search engine on the internet you practice with your web browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. Unamoo was born in Irvine, California, USA in 2007. The product of concerned and active parenting, Unamoo"s search engine protects your company, your school, you and your children by removing harmful links before you ever see them. Unamoo embedded filters seek elsewhere adult content and grip it away of the Unamoo system completely. Additionally, Unamoo encourages users to keep their search community clean by alerting Unamoo creators when adul
t and other unsavory content manages to slip through, simply exercise the "report a site feature" and they will remove it. Imagine you walk into your child"s room during a sleepover only to find your young daughter and her friends staring in shock at adult images when they were only searching for Cody Linley and Mitchell Musso. Incidents like these that prompted the creators of Unamoo to bring the virgin search engine to life, a search engine empowered by people, for people. But Unamoo is not only for parents and children. Imagine you"re giving the presentation of your existence to your entire workplace, college professor and class. You pull up the internet to present them a episode you found when you were surfing the internet. Nevertheless you accidentally mistype the keyword and end up displaying to your coworkers... and your boss... an adult content collection large enough to fill the conurbation library. And large enough to cost you your job! The creators at Unamoo
understood the entail for everyone to be protected and didn"t wish to stop with children and parents. And so, Unamoo was born. Unamoo is recent and is not perfect. On the other hand it gets closer each and every day with users who add safe sites and report poor sites to the makers of Unamoo. It is up to the users of Unamoo to play an active role in keeping gone the adult content so that Unamoo can be safe for employ in churches, schools, after-school programs, libraries, profession places, and of course, at home. While the makers of Unamoo do everything they can to screen every site that comes in with filters and with their eyes, it doesn"t hurt to have more than a uncommon sets of careful eyes scouring for the poor guys.
