Default Student starts Google copycat search engine

If imitation is the best form of flattery, Google has been paid the ultimate compliment by a group of 20 fans paying homage with copycat search engine goojje.com, a site currently racking up a million clicks a day.
Upon hearing the news that google.cn would possibly pull out from the Chinese market on January 12, the group, comprised of both students and professionals from a QQ discussion forum, decided on creating the online tribute.


"We didn't want google. cn to leave us, so we built this website in commemoration. If google-fans feel lonely when google.cn leaves, they can visit our site and feel not so lonely," he said. Xiaoxuan, a member of the goojje.com operation and handling press relations, told the Global Times.
Organized by a 20-year-old university sophomore surnamed Wen, googjje.com officially registered its domain name and was up on January 14.
However, the site refused to provide any more information about its founder, explaining that at present she is reluctant to comment.
Designed in similar white background and simple format, the "jj" added to the col-ored logo stands for "jiejie" or "sister," a pun on the Chinese translation of google, "gu ge," the "ge" sounding like the word "brother."
Also different from "brother google," the logo also sports the blue paw print logo of baidu. com, the second database from which goojje.com draws its search results. The site hopes "to combine the strong points of both engines into their searches"


Although the page has several features such as news and polls, it also features a forum focused on creating an online community of google fans, according to Xiaoxuan.


"We chat, make friends and introduce goojje to more and more people. I think it is a good thing."
