Do you want to help me to change the world, making it simpler? The feeling is that the world is on the eve of a radical transformation, and that the Internet represents the engine of this transformation. My idea to change the world is called Semplicity.
Semplicity is a search engine that gives you only the important information. The rest, including advertising, can wait. In short Semplicity give you direct answers, not a list of sites to be visited. This has to do with the saving of time and energy, with the concept of quality and therefore with the quality of life.
Knowing important information makes us smarter, but I am here to prove that we can also make richer.
Search engines are influencing the global economy. What I don't like is how they do it. Google, for example, is a search engine specialized to find cool sites and to forget all the others. Uhm, to forget is not the exact word. Google move most sites queued to the list, because little functional to the insertion of advertising. It would be like saying that the rich are getting richer, the poor getting poorer, and this should make happy consumers and companies.
There is another way to influence the global economy, and is to give a value to information. According to the guru of Mountain View, a site is important if it collects many links from other sites. According to me, a site is important if it contains clear information and strongly structured. Therefore my search engine works on the content of the pages, rather than on the mutual links (the "recommendations" of a site for another).
Giving a value to information, Semplicity delete unsolicited advertising messages. This does not mean delete advertising, but give the user a choice.
Well, a project of this kind requires money. Google began his adventure with a fund of 15 million dollars. Even Semplicity was born in a garage, but it begin his adventure with funding of $50,000 family backgrounds. The point is: this initial amount of money, invested in research and development, is now reduced to zero. I know what you are thinking: a project of the kind should not have difficulty to retrieve venture-capital funds. But it is not easy as it seems.
I’am just coming out from a disappointing experience with a large Italian company, who has already a search engine and no interest to innovation in this field.

Getting $0,00 - Programmers face the problems step by step and they don’t ever surrender. I am a programmer.
Getting $100 - I pay the phone line subscription for a couple of months. I start to believe that the Internet is a mass of nothing.
Getting $1,000 - I pay the lease for a couple of months. I start to believe that the Internet works and that "Community" means something.
Getting $10,000 - I go to a prestigious university to make the speech what couldn't do in 2007 (for lack of funds, clear).

Getting $100,000 - Venture-capitalist should start to worry: a company based on donations is stronger than a company based on venture-capital.
Getting $500,000 - Bankers should start to worry: a capital not cluttered with interests is an independent capital.
Getting $1,000,000 - Google should start to worry.
We resume.
Semplicity is a search engine based on interpretation of natural language and semantics. This is the ability to find the meaning and therefore to give value to information.
This opens the door to an innovative business model, which could give work to dozens of people and could grow by itself, without making use of bank loans. If you decide to contribute, be aware that Semplicity.com could be the first net-company founded upon solidarity between individuals. We could go on the cover of Wired Magazine, but I think it right to offer you an immediate benefit.
With a contribution af at least $20 you get Semplicity Mobile, the client program to access Semplicity from your smartphone (as soon as available for Windows Mobile). Personally I will send the file using your e-mail address.
