Cranky, the search engine for boomers

No, it's not a joke. Well, it's not suppose to be...

AP moved a story this afternoon about a new search engine called Cranky.

"Our research found that people 50 and over are confused about searching on the Web," said Jeff Taylor, the Cranky mastermind who previously struck it rich as the founder of online employment site Monster.com., told AP.

Launched earlier this week, Cranky is trying to simplify things by showing just four Web sites in the non-advertising section of each results page and making the sparser listings more relevant to its target audience.

Cranky's ads will be provided by Ask.com. Only God knows why.

My sites that rank #1 on Google and Yahoo rank #4 on Cranky. But, the other results are obvious spam.

(I guess this should be filed under "Alternative Search Engines," but it looked like Foo to me.)

It's kind if funny that they use large bold font when you type into the search box :)

Some things never change- today's #1 search term on cranky.com: sex

Then again, the results ARE a bit different... Result #8 for "sex" is titled "Getting pregnant: How babies are made"

If they haven't figured that out by the time they are 50, its probably a bit to late :)
