Ananzi and Google partner

Ananzi has partnered with Google to bring their visitors an international search service

Mark Buwalda finally got the plot.

“It's all about ease of use. Ananzi's strength lies in offering premium local content tailored to South African web users' interests, but we also recognise that Ananzi searchers use Google a lot,” says Ananzi managing director Mark Buwalda.

I haven't used Ananzi in years, good luck to the 3 or so "Ananzi searchers" out there, at least this way you will find the search results you've been missing all this time.

Ananzi? That still exists? I was almost tempted to ask, "What's that?" until I remembered.

Only for international search - local search will still use Ananzi's technology.

Just tested the Ananzi local search for ‘Google’. Unfortunately Google.co.za came in third, outranked by “UNDER1ROOF >> Your Ultimate Guide to all Home Improvements” and “1Weekwebsite” (dead link).

I really don’t know why Ananzi just don’t employ Google technology for their searches…

"Ananzi's technology" is a bit of a stretch - it's pre-historic and no longer qualifies as technology IMO .

Any stats on what fraction of 0.001 % of South Africans use Ananzi?

What a misleading title - Ananzi and Google partner - Ha, what a load of crap...Anybody can add a google search box to their site...

Ananzi should just fade away, the only reason they exist is because they phone everybody they can get a phone number for to sell their useless expensive service, and they get a lot of clueless customers that way...

So me and all my sites have partnered with google for a long term allready. All my sites have a google search option

Google has become any online super power. The world needs something new - eureka or something .

Anybody is welcome to replace them. Google replaced Yahoo and others, I am sure it isn't immune. So far they are brilliant though. Bit slow in SA, but hey, TIA!

 

[freematrix]

Noooo Ananzi must gooooo! Pretty Please its embarrassing as a local content search and advertising engine. The search results are shocking

So old school

anyways carry on with whatever else you were doing

[hoover99]

ahaha. ananzi. shame man: at least they have the savvy to now rather use google's search tech and give up on their own 'search box'.

 

[McGuywer]

Well, Mweb uses Google. They at least try to "compete"....

You are right!!!

And there isn't a tab to search using Google? What's going on?



I also can't get used to all the ads. It's terrible.

 

[esvl]

They have to many ads.

I agree

 

[AntiThesis]

They have to many ads.

Most of which seem to be US based - which makes it really quite hard to browse on local cap.
