In his attempts at becoming relevant to the general public once again, the one time 'floppy-pants-rapper' is starting his own web project. And it is a search engine by the name of WireDoo. He revealed in San Fransisco's Web 2.0 Summit this week. So what is his goal?
The goal of WireDoo is to create a search engine that bases it's results not only on keywords but relationships between these keywords. In the example given, searching for the word 'home' would return info and results about your particular geographic location...
Doesn't Google already do this to an extent? Next thing you know Vanilla Ice will start his own Frozen Yogurt Label...
It seems to me like Mr. Hammer is trying to reinvent the wheel here. But, hopefully it will go smooth for him. After all we are now at a generation where the majority of the young people haven't been exposed to 90's greats like: 'Can't Touch This' or 'Too Legit to Quit'. On another note, I can only hope that the search sound in his commercial's (similar to Bing's tv spots) would be something of a 90's throwback. Or maybe give us an 'electric sliding' status bar...
Anyways, if you're looking to jump into WireDoo you can sign up for the Beta here:

One last Hammer reference to closeout the article: Keep it 'legit' Hammer, 'too legit to quit'.
Okay, I'm done with the bad jokes now. :)
