MC Hammer launches a search engine

Published on 10-22-2011 01:44 PM

POPULAR 90s rapper MC Hammer will launch his own search engine, the man himself has announced.

According to Sky News, the bizarre announcement was made at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.
Hammer said the search engine, called Wiredoo, won't try to compete with bigger engines like Google or Bing. Instead it will "add relationship information to search results".

Hammer sold 10 million copies of his hit single "Can't Touch This" in 1990. However, more lately he has become a fixture at consumer information technology events as he looks to become an entrepreneur.
He cited the example of how homes would come up in his search engine and showed how a search would produce information about neighbourhoods, local schools, mortgages, and insurance.

"It's not a competitive attempt to recreate search," he said. "You can always make things better. There's always a next version.
"Do we really need another search engine? Of course not. But if something can be an added value, then we'll find a definite use for it."

Comprehension isn't your strong suit is it?

Btw I tried to sign up for the beta and the damn thing kept telling me "Can't touch this".

News of this search engine hits me so hard, make me say oh my Lord

Meg, before getting ready to school this tycus clown, first consider that he's an idiot. He'll likely not be able to understand one thought or concept you convey.

I shouldn't laugh lol.
I don't understand why he would do this, if MS can't make it big with there seemingly unlimited money I'm not sure what he can do.

So a search for broke would come up with links for bankruptcy and pictures of MC Hammer? Brilliant idea.

We are basically saying the same things with our posts (except the limp Black Ops ref- I assume you were struggling with a limited vocabulary), however, your post is entirely lacking in wit, thought, humor, or personality. I would typically be handed the task of making you look like a moron, but since you have left no doubt of such, I find myself empty-handed.

Hate it when I am beaten to the punchline!

And, I must admit, I was not expecting to encounter Hammer's entire remaining active fan~~base~~ in this thread. Odds?
