Gimpsy Turns Five

I was browsing our list of search engines and directories on Search Engine Wiki the other day and noticed that Gimpsy recently celebrated their 5th Birthday!

Back in April 2002, I remember when Gimpsy was just a sparkle in the eye of founder Mordechai Chachamu and some colleagues. They were working on a new kind of directory and were getting feedback from mods and members in the various webmaster forums.

I was a moderator in the iHelpYou Forums at the time when Gimpsy was finally launched in October 2002 and MC invited members to try it out. We gave it the thumbs up and I've been submitting client sites to Gimpsy ever since.

If you're not familiar with Gimpsy, you should check it out. Gimpsy operates on unique natural language queries and is action-oriented. In other words, you tell Gimpsy what action you want to take (e.g. I want to buy, I want to insure etc.) and Gimpsy finds for you the sites that provide the required service. Combine this with a cute little pet hamster mascot and that's Gimpsy in a nutshell.

A very Happy Birthday Gimpsy! And congratulations Mordechai and team for building up Gimpsy into the valuable resource it is today.
