"Filtericious is a collaborative open source search engine unlike any other search engine in many ways. First off, the content and indexing is 100% contributed by members of the community. Think of it as the Wikipedia of Internet search where all parts of the site are contributed one piece at a time creating a massive public database available to everybody. Secondly, we've developed a visual filter tool that lets you narrow on on what you're searching for in a manner similar to a game of 20-questions. By choosing what tags you want and what tags you don't want, you can more efficiently find exactly what you're looking for. Thirdly, because the community can link web resources with tags, we can now make our buying decisions based on hard-to-find but important political, environmental, and economical product characteristics, enabling us to efficiently and affectively "vote with our money". Filtericious will be available for anyone to use in any way they want - completely open and free. Filtericious.com is the first application of Filtericious and has the lofty goal is to index every corner of the Internet. "
