Attabot brings together the facilities of Web 2.0 and the functions of search engines, while bringing together services such as e-mail accounts and online dictionaries from the Turkish Language Council and Redhouse.
“We take care of the design, code writing and test periods by ourselves. We work collectively both in the United States and Istanbul,” Seyfi Erol, the founding partner of the portal told TDN.
The users can choose words that describe them on the internet after creating free account, Erol said. “Under the titles Air, Earth, and water, you can choose the words that describe you and your social life, your likes and career and, in the words of the Attabot team, you create your own world, your virtual self.”

Attabot – A New Approach to Search
While other search engines are busy refining their algorithms for better search results, Attabot brings in a unique way to make use of the “search” function.
Attabot creates a digital profile for users and connects people who make the same query. Searching on Attabot finds real people rather than finding only websites with other search engines. When you think about what you search for on search engines everyday, it is quite interesting to find not only websites as the search results but also other people who are interested in the things that you are searching for.
Search is a two way highway. Searching with Attabot finds you other people. How about other people finding you? For the queries that YOU select! You can use Attabot to be found by others with the words in your profile or with the queries you have made previously. This feature brings more opportunities to your professional life and may add new friends to your social circle.
Attabot brings internet tools to your daily life that will make life easier and ever more interactive. A new feature called “AttaRez” lets you save your favorite search results and share them with your tags across the online community. This human based search engine can find refined results that are tested by other people not just a computer algorithm.
“Attabot Favorites” lets you take your bookmarks with you wherever you go. Sign-in to your Attabot account and all your bookmarks are ready to take you where you want to go.
Attabot account creates a webpage and an e-mail account which you can use to publish whatever is important for you. E-mail account shows all your incoming messages from different profiles so you don’t have to log-in and out to check your messages for each profile, either social or professional.
Your Attabot profile gets indexed by all search engines so anyone who searches for you can find information about you that you select to publish.
Attabot creates a second life built by your own words. What will you be searching for?

Co-founder Seyfi Erol describes Attabot as a digital platform that makes life easier. He says that he and his partner Omer Kurt developed Attabot while Erol was researching internet projects in USA. Seyfi Erol also says that “ It’s very important to reach needed information on the Internet and people are making a better use of Internet now because of Web 2.0. That’s how Attabot was found. Attabot is the platform that can be used in daily life with a lot of Internet tools. There are twelve people working in our company and we’re implementing concept, design, coding and testing with our team. Two teams are working from both USA and Turkey at the same time by using the advantages of Internet.”
World of Words
When you’re creating your free account on Attabot, you go through an entertaining process where you choose the words that best describes you. You build up your own “ world” by choosing best matching words about your social life, things you like and your professional life. After this process you’ll have your own Digital ID. Every new query you make on Attabot, is added to your world. People who make the same query or have the same profile properties with you will be able to find you and send you a message.
While creating an account, you enter your real name. On the next screen you create your second profile, which you can use to keep your queries private. Every user have the ability to create ten different profiles. For example, you can use your first profile for your professional life and second profile for sharing your interests and hobbies. After creating these profiles, you will have an e-mail account that runs for all your profiles. E-mail account has unlimited storage and supports POP3. You can also communicate with other Attabot users with this account.
Attabot also creates a Webpage with the URL: yourname.attabot.com. You can use this page to publish information about yourself. When someone search your name on the Internet, they will see this page on Attabot and Google results. You can create a different page for each of your profiles.
It’s also suitable for Corporate use
Seyfi Erol also mentions Attabot’s advantages for business use. He says that “Corporate users have the same advantages that personal users have, the ability to be found with selected words. Corporate users can introduce their companies for free by creating an Attabot account. It will be a great platform especially for small businesses. They can introduce their companies on the Internet in a few minutes. Using Attabot, corporate users will take advantage of Web 2.0 . In the future you will be able to buy or sell things using Attabot.“
Attabot is competely free. Seyfi Erol says “ If you’re trying to make lifes easier, you have to provide this service free. That’s why our business model will be mainly based on advertisement. We will use existing advertising channels and our own product, an innovative web 2.0 ad paltform that uses “AttaSearch” results. Soon we will add new features for finding information about events and flight tickets. We have partnered with Sinema.com and Yemeksepeti.com. We did these because we’re trying to give the best results for internet searches in Turkey. Our aim is to reach every user in Turkey and make them use Attabot.”
Now, Attabot is online with Beta version. It’s Turkish for now but Attabot team plans to roll out the global version in early September. There will be other dictionaries and some other features on the global version of Attabot.
