Company description

BoilingPage is the real-time search engine where you will find the most recently popular (we call them HOT) web pages among people. As we all know, people discuss about their favorite webpages in different networks like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook etc. We mine these conversations, organize them properly, based on which, we'll show you the best and the most recently popular webpages among people.

When you search for a topic in Boilingpage, you will find real-time popular webpages as results. For example, if you search for 'Obama', we'll show you the webpages related to Obama that are popular among people in real time.

More than just displaying hot webpages, we'll show recommendations for each hot page that'll help you discover more interesting webpages. You may also create your favorite list by clicking 'Bookmark' and we'll automatically bring personalized recommendations based on your favorites. Here's the best part: You don't have to keep refreshing our webpage to find new updates on a topic; you can simply register a topic as a feed and you'll start receiving automatic updates by email.

At this point, we are focused on developing the user base and improve the relevance of our search results. Once we reach a stage, we are planning to open up the sponsored section, where we'll have the following:
 
a) Affiliate products corresponding to the search keyword.
b) Sponsored ads corresponding to the search keyword.
c) Sponsors that can promote their blogs or Tweets.
 
On top of this, we've started to partner with other content aggregation sites like Kosmix. We are planning to work out a revenue sharing deal or other financing deal with the future partners for our contents.
