Americola
is a celebrity orientated search engine featuring high resolution
celebrity pictures, videos as well as comprehesive celebrity
biographies.
Relevant quality search results and fast easy navigation throughout
the different sections of the site, make
Americola a great entertainment search engine.
One big advantage over other search engines is that you will only get
selected celebrity content and adult filters to filter out
the porn and other lunacy out there.
Celebrity Pop Culture
Americola's name was coined in relation to our slogan "Celebrity Pop
Culture" because our site seeks to provide you with a broad vision of
celebrity pop culture so present in our lives today. Celebrities have
literally become icons and arouse enormous public interest. We want to try
and capture that celebrity pop culture right here on our site and let
everyone know what celebrities are all about today. The who's who of all
celebrities will be documented on this site. So help us out and start
contributing today.
AmericolaWiki
AmericolaWiki is a
celebrity wiki whose goal is
to create a free and valuable Internet resource containing information
about celebrities and other community created topics. The site was
pre-populated with information about many different celebrities from
Wikipedia and updates are now being made to that content right here on
AmericolaWiki by people like you each day. Find out more by reading the
AmericolaWiki Tutorial.
Wikipedia Content
In July 2007, Americola integrated
Wikipedia information
into its website to provide comprehesive biographies on a very large
number of celebrities. This information was downloaded from
Wikipedia:Database dumps section on April 14th, 2007 and is stored on
Americola's servers.
The content of Wikipedia and of AmericolaWiki is licensed under the
GNU Free Documentation License. This means that you may redistribute
it, verbatim or modified, providing that you comply with the terms of the
GFDL.
AmericolaWiki is a
celebrity wiki, that is, a
special type of website that allows visitors to edit and expand the wealth
of its content. In other words, it is possible to edit and improve upon
the pre-populated content we obtained from
Wikipedia and to add new content.
Share your knowledge - AmericolaWiki depends upon users like
yourself to update and improve the site. Please feel free to use the many
"edit" buttons to do anything from fixing spelling errors to adding
paragraphs of text or uploading pictures. There are some
help topics here
and we would be honored to have your participation in any constructive
capacity.
In fact, we are hoping that our
celebrity
wiki will become regular
contributors to AmericolaWiki making our pages more celebrity orientated
and more comprehensive than those available on any other
celebrity or
wiki site.
Get involved - it is your Internet. Expand on it today with your
knowledge and your contributions, but remember play by the rules
and make sure to read the
AmericolaWiki Tutorial before you begin.
Update - due to a serious lack in sponsor revenue and a total absence of donations, we stopped offering comprehensive biographies in August 2009, which cost too much to host.
Picsearch Content
In July 2006, Americola teamed up with
Picsearch, one of the
three largest image search providers in the world having over 1.7
billion searchable images. Every month over 100 million new fresh
images are added to the database. Since its start, Picsearch has focused
on relevancy (finding the right image) and family friendliness,
two criteria that have always been of prime importance to Americola.
At the same time,
Picsearch expanded its offer to include video search and agreed
to allow Americola to be the first to go live with video search.
