Boodigo, ethical porn search engine, made its official debut Sep 15 and “has taken off like a rocket”, Colin Rowntree, one of its founders and also the owner of the Wasteland.com festishist porn site, told Spain’s EFE news agency in a telephone interview.
Rowntree and Wasteland teamed up with Los Angeles tech company 0x7a69, whose engineers spent over a year developing Boodigo’s operating system, including an algorithm that prioritises links that are dismissed by mainstream search engines.
“Google and Bing have gradually been weeding out the industry’s adult content and that (for us) has been tremendously frustrating. If someone is looking for videos of oral sex and tries to find them via Google, what they get is an article by Wikipedia and advice from Cosmopolitan. And when they get what they’re looking for it can well be pirated material,” Rowntree said.
Boodigo is organized with a double process of verification, which in the first place associates keywords of the search with content, and secondly checks to see that the content belongs to trustworthy sites and not to pirate sites with fraudulent and malicious intentions, the Boodigo founder said.
According to its privacy policy, “Boodigo does not use cookies or other user-tracking technologies to gather information about our users.”
“That makes us different from Google and Bing, and was another reason for creating it,” Rowntree said.
Boodigo is a search engine specifically created to help users cut to the chase when looking for adult entertainment material online. The site takes a no-nonsense approach to finding quality adult content at lightning-fast speeds, blocking results that seem like security threats, or just look overly spammy.
Not only does the search engine refine a user’s results and lead them to the content they’re actually looking for, Boodigo blocks sites that are known or potential security threats, allowing users to safely browse adult content without fear of compromising their computer.
