Activist Search Weapon Launched
Submitted by ron collins on Tue, 2008-01-29 20:15. International Media Science/Technology Press Release Special to Mostly Water Web site 

Look to the Left (LTTL) is a new search facility designed to help you navigate the massive volume of information continuously being published by lefty web sites. It is geared towards helping activists search the web more effectively by eliminating the corporate clutter.

Try searching http://looktotheleft.org for "revolution" and then try the same search at http://google.com/search?q=revolution 

Very different results.

A list of the hundreds of web sites LTTL currently searches is available at http://looktotheleft.org/link_list. You can quickly and easily add sites to the searchable list yourself. The list is growing as more people use LTTL and currently includes such sites as:

A-infos 
Alternet 
Counter Punch 
Democracy Now! 
Independent Media Center (including all their sub-domains) 
Infoshop 
Mostly Water 
Resist! (including all their sub-domains) 
ZNet 
Many, many more! 
You can also add the LTTL search box easily to your own site making an LTTL search available to your readers without ever leaving your site. An example can be seen at http://mostlywater.org. The code can be customized to fit your needs.

LTTL takes advantage of Google's Custom Search Engines but is in no way associated with Google and does not endorse Google. In fact LTTL is opposed to the way Google gathers and uses information about you for marketing purposes etc. However, since there is no other technology in place to provide this service at this time, LTTL may serve as a valuable tool in organizing against those corporations and governments which continue to work against our freedoms. 

See http://www.google-watch.org for more information about Google.
