Karl Brown has just created a custom search using Google Co-op for the field of ICT and Development.
He conviced somehow ;) the following people to contribute / be part of the team developing the custom search:
- Vikas Nath: founder of DevNetJobs
- Frederick Noronha: journalist, founder of BytesForAll
- Ismael Peña-López: professor and researcher, founder of the ICT4D wiki
- Ethan Zuckerman: founder of Geekcorps
I must admit that it is an honor to be listed besides people like these :)
Karl Brown created also a site to host the custom search and, who knows, what might become of its evolution:
To give it a try:
If you need to cite this article in a formal way (i.e. for bibliographical purposes) I dare suggest:

It looks like a great iniciative. Could those iniciative help us to get through the current
politics of search engines?
Since I have read “Introna, L. & Nissenbaum, H. (2000). Shaping the Web: Why the Politics of Search Engine Matters. The Information Society. Vol. 16. nº 3. pp. 169-184”
I’am concerned about the consequences of the intensive use of these Internet tools in any activity of everyday life.
Congratulations again for the initiative.
