I'm not sure whats funnier. The fact that you had that link ready to post or the fact that I clicked it thinking it was a joke and it really exists.

It got me curious as well! After some looking around, this thing isn't as K-Fed centric as I initially thought. There's similar sites with other artists such as Meat Loaf, Maroon 5, etc.

From what I understand, the thing which runs this is a search company called Prodege that uses ads to generate revenue (what else?). What makes it different is that it partners with other organizations to get people to use the Prodege engine.

The idea is that organizations (in this case K-Fed company or whatever it's called) leverages their property (K-Fed) to get people to use the specially branded search engine ( In return for building traffic, Prodege shares ad revenue with them.

Interesting to find out how this is working out. Hmmm, maybe I'll use the Maroon 5 search site to "google" for some stats!

Does Microsoft wants to kill themself... 50billion for Yahoo is supper stupid. I think Microsoft should spend the cash on trying to enter new market. This company has lost its path and has to much cash in hand and don't want to do so they are so crazy into buying Google. Why don't they try to buy sony instead... that would make teh crap loads of money instead of buying Yahoo.

I have to agree, they could learn a lesson from the tabacco companies.
