Search engine for 50+ age group launches

Cranky.com simplifies searches for silver surfers

A new search engine hopes to generate cash from targeted ads by filtering data for 50-year-old-plus baby boomers who lack the patience to wade through pages of results.

Launched last week, Cranky.com is the brainchild of Jeff Taylor, who founded the online employment site Monster.com and now serves as chief executive officer of the media company Eons.....

........Like Google and other search engines, Cranky aims to make money selling targeted advertising alongside its search results.

The name "cranky" was chosen by Taylor because of his own shift in mood whenever he gets lost in what he calls the "search quagmire," according to the website.

I reckon it's demeaning for people to assume that because your hair is going grey you can't work things out for yourself. If anything it is my kids' generation which have no patience and get cranky if they can't get what they want. I am over 50 and have learned the proper way to use a search engine to find relevant results. It's not rocket science. It's far harder following a complicated knitting pattern.
