Image Search Engine Goes Live

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 07, 2008 -
SpivO’s image search engine (http://spivo.com/images) went back online today with upgraded features. SpivO originally launched the image search engine in 2006 and included select filter technology to prevent children from looking at inappropriate images without censoring their content.

The new version of the image search engine has an improved filtering method which makes it easier for adults to search through uncensored images while making it more difficult for children.

SpivO’s select filtering technology is explained by Jack Thomas of SpivO.com. “When working on the image search engine for SpivO, we decided to take a different approach to filtering. We maintain a no censorship policy for our content but at the same time we feel a need to prevent younger users from accessing inappropriate content. If we used a filter that could be turned off and on, then some younger users may be able to find a way to disable it. However, by having a built in filter that only allows descriptive searches that an adult would use when searching for content, it makes it more difficult for the younger SpivO Image Search user to access adult content.”

Another advancement that SpivO users will find on the image search engine and other SpivO channels, is the faster inquiry response time. This is accredited to the new servers being used for SpivO.com, Spivomail.com, and Spivovideo.com. SpivO’s server environment was previously hosted and managed by a smaller group that was unable to support a web site the size of SpivO.

The faster server environment is a necessary upgrade as SpivO prepares to launch other media search engines such as SpivO Web Video Search and SpivO User Video Search. These are scheduled to launch this week.
