WHATIS ICONTACTWORLD?
Icontactworld is a point and click Visual Search interface:
That people can use to network from.
That is a marketplace for goods and services.
Which can be used as a medium to broadcast or blog, a cause or culture.
It is a Startup implementing groundbreaking innovations:
A new way of displaying user posts, pictures, video, links etc. that uses an icon, positioned on the screen, to open and close a display window from which more windows can be opened.
There are ways for users to self-categorise their displays for search purposes by:
Choosing which city or topical screen they place themselves on,
Where or in which district of the screen they position their icon,
The keywords they use in the Window that opens from their icon.
Geo location is used to take visitors to a screen representing the city they are in and to locate user notices, if they wish to place them, on a map of the city.
There is a control panel that users log into: to add to or edit the content of their display, control who can see it, send messages to other people on the screen and much more.
A navigation console, that functions like a menu bar and is used as the logo for the website, floats over the screen. It contains links to a geographic network of cities and a topical network as well as links to local news, events and debating screens. It also contains an instrument that shows the location of the pointer on the screen. This is used to send messages to people on the screen by addressing their icon and to outcast inappropriate content sources by specifying their onscreen origin.

WHAT IS ICONTACTWORLD?
“It’s a place where you can put up a notice or display, a marketplace where you can setup a stall or sell your wares. The screen you are looking at represents the city you are currently in and there is a network of screens covering the country and continents. You can search the screen by typing in keywords which highlight displays (containing the keyword) and by the districts where you find icons clustered. The city screen is like a folder or directory on your computer, but instead of holding your files it holds the files of anyone who wishes to place themselves init. People with displays on a city screen have the ability to delete displays they find unacceptable and send messages to other people on the screen so it’s like an self regulating ecosystem.”

FIRST POST: THE CONSEQUENCES OF GOOGLE SEARCH DOMINANCE
"Google Says Local Search Result That Buried Rivals Yelp, TripAdvisor Is Just a Bug " @arrington retweet. Here's the link:
http://recode.net/2015/11/24/google-says-local-search-result-that-buried-rivals-yelp-tripadvisor-is-just-a-bug/
Basically what people like yelp are saying is that Google can position search results related to local business so that Google is on top. This type of thing is going to go on happening until we find an alternative to Google for search. Icontactworld can compete with Google because it provides a platform for a new type of local context based search as well as providing keyword search.
