Approaching the 1 Million Mark, LAGbook Partners With Nintag To Improve Search Results
Approaching the 1 miilion mark, One of Africa's largest social networking website Ladies And Gentlemen book (LAGbook) partners with Nintag to improve search results.
- (1888PressRelease) March 27, 2013 - Nintag is a search engine utility that focuses on African contents. Accessible on multiple device types, Nintag's goal is to serve Nigerians and Africans, and give them relevant yet simpler search results. Nintag is trying to make search results more useful to Africans.
Yesterday, LAGbook concluded its partnership with Nintag. Now, registered LAGbook members who cannot find what they are looking for using the traditional LAGbook 'people' search can extend their search query to Nintag.
According to Chika Nwaogu, Co-founder of LAGbook, "Our partnership with Nintag is a no brainer. To me, Nintag is Africa's answer to Google. Nintag tries to narrow all search queries it receives to African-related results and I think it's what any African internet user searching for useful information on the Internet needs".
"We have been developing Nintag and optimising our search results to meet the direct needs of Africans. We have launched a beta test in the past, and to our knowledge, it was a success. Some improvements and updates are still going to be made but at the moment Nintag is capable to serve the African market", says Justice Adeyinka Adeyemo, Co-founder of Nintag.
"This we believe will improve our search efficiency by over 70%. It's simple. Many of our nearly one million registered users use our search box utility every minute. Unfortunately, our search utility before now was just a 'people' search. We only returned results of related LAGbook registered users, so Nintag's search extends the possibility of our search utility to search the world wide web. If you cannot find it on LAGbook, try Nintag. That's the global idea behind this partnership.", says Chidi Nwaogu, Co-founder at LAGbook.
LAGbook is an African-based social networking website targeted specifically at the youth demographic (18-30), but permits registration of people 13 and older. The social network with nearly 1,000,000 registered members, is most popular in the Nigeria, Ghana, United States, and the United Kingdom.
