Hmmm, K-Fed, former backup singer/dancer and wife to the skinhead Britney Spears has found a new job. Putting the smack down on Larry and Sergey. K-Fed's new 'site' Searching With Kevin is a new search engine. Every time you search, you have a chance of winning a prize, mostly K-Fed-branded clothing, but, there is the grand prize of getting one of 10 tickets to 'K-Fed's birthday party.'
He doesn't have that secret software engineering degree from MIT, the site is basically a portal for a 'real' search engine, Prodege. Prodege, on their site, claims to "PRODÉGÉ is the first socially-conscious search engine." Huh?
Apparently, having a Prodege branded-portal gets you some kind of revenue. So "Searching with Kevin" is some kind of way to make money for our hero, K-Fed. Although I'm not totally informed on the topic, Prodege is the sleazy used-car lot of the Web 2.0 companies.
Curiously enough, going to the Prodege Home Page, shows below the search bar, "Enhanced by Yahoo! Search". They're not even smart enough to make their own search engine. Lets bring this all together, Prodege is some sort of a Web 2.0 company where you pay them money to make you money from their search engine, which appears to be Yahoo's search engine, and Mr. Kevin Spears apparently is doing this, via his 'hot' new web property, Searching with Kevin.
I just can't wait until the Searching with Kevin IPO.
