The Innovative India Based Search Engine

on November 23, 2006,
With the current estimate of 37 Million and 200% increase of new Internet users annually, it is the right time for India to have their own indexed search engine, the ByIndia.com. ByIndia is a search engine made specifically to cope with the emerging IT industry in India. With the Indian government’s open policy to Internet access, the possibility of ByIndia to bypass the success of Baidu is expected to be a breeze.
If you take a good look at their logo, it actually looks similar to Ask.com’s logo. But, that doesn’t mean they are a clone of Ask.com though. This innovative search engine utilises several great features that surely will turn ByIndia into a sticky portal. For example, the People ByIndia allows the users to build profiles and interact in a full-featured free social network similar to MySpace that covers the whole India. Meanwhile, the Video ByIndia allows users to watch, upload and share video clips free of charge. Videos can be rated by users and the most popular ones are featured on the main video page.
If you like to bargain prices, Auctions ByIndia provides auctions. It works just like eBay. Classifieds ByIndia provides a place where members can post free classified advertisements of jobs, goods and services to fellow users. Last but not least, Blogs, compile a directory of sites and news portals in several categories. These features are expected to bring viral growth to ByIndia. This is possible due to the fact that it gathers almost all the best features in one place, allowing the users to save more of their time, and is based on the power of community. While they’re not the first Indian based search engine to index the websites from India, it is definitely going to be the next big thing in India.
