Software Search Engine Deligio Now Online

05 Mar, 2007, 3:20 pm IST | by Priyanka Pradhan | Windows

Dutch start-up, Deligio.com is the newest search engine on the web, designed to enable users to search for software, freeware and shareware on the internet.

Deligio, founded by Matthijs van Schendelen en Rodger Buyvoets in July 2006, aims to created a platform for web users to discover, add and share their favorite software on the internet, based on the 'Web 2.0' principle.

Rodger Buyvoets, co-founder of Deligio says, "Initially we wanted to create a search engine for our own use which would enable us to search and find software. The well known website Download.com is too ambiguous and far too commercialized. That is why Deligio uses the Google based principle of a simple search function that will allow the user to find the most appropriate application with no unnecessary distractions. During the beta launch Deligio proved to be highly successful, therefore we rebuilt the initial tool into a fully fledged search engine for software."

Unlike Download.com Deligio.com uses the user generated content principle and ratings where programmers, heavy PC users and system engineers form the initial target group, but in the end Deligio plans to become the software search engine for general public.
