Kakle Vying for 'Search' Space

Amidst major search giants like Google, Yahoo!, MSN, comes a new player called "Kakle.com" trying to make its mark! Although a much lesser known brand, Kakle promises an interactive user experience with all the interesting features that a paradigmatic search engine may offer.

However one feature that possibly even beats Google is the free 5GB email account that Kakle offers. Meanwhile, Google's Gmail offers just 2GB of storage.

Apart from this, Kakle features instant messenger (IM), chat, games, forums, blogs, social networking communities, and unlimited audio, video, and picture uploads. The voice and video IM is interoperable with other major messenger services, something similar to Meebo.

In addition, users can also create their own Web portals and import RSS.
"The one thing that makes Kakle stand out from other search engines is the meta result," said Riko Chung, president and owner of Kakle. "We aggregate the results from major search engines, and rank the search engines on the basis of the results.

If the user clicks on the name of the search company, the page where the site is displayed comes up." Kakle.com has been in beta for the past six months, and is seeking feedback from users for further development.

"Various features are being modified, and once launched, it will look completely different from what it looks today," Chung added.
