WWBN, WWBN.com, World Wide Broadcast Network Platform System is a broadcast network platform system (Patent Pending). WWBN is owned by World Wide Broadcast Network, Inc.
The WWBN Platform System was developed in order to integrate traditional television, commercial advertising, multimedia and the internet in a centralized broadcast network platform system that enable media elements and broadcast networks to interact with each other.
WWBN provides for the integration of streaming, broadcasting, and stored media files from the Internet or any other public or private global network. WWBN is committed to the open architecture movement, which seeks to achieve compatibility between software developers, application service providers, search technologies, and multimedia vendor's products and services through common, public-domain standards. The opposite paradigm (propietary standards) would limit companies to one vendor's offerings, thereby achieving compatibility within an organization's network while jeopardizing compatibility with global networks, customers, suppliers and partners.

In March of 2004 WWBN lauched the first ever Pay Per Click video search engine SearchADS.TV that enabled customers to post television commercials and other multimedia advertisements as part of search results, which turned the tables on the way users searched for information on the web. SearchADS.TV enabled advertisements to come accross as needed in direct response to user's inquiries, giving companies a more persuasive and users more informative and relevant advertising content.
In 2005 WWBN launched SearchTube.com in order to take a turn from the traditional search interface into a more video and media orientated interface in order to magnify the importance of video as a tangible advertising and entertainment medium.
In 2006 WWBN introduced BANS - Broadcast Allocation Node System as it was described in the book The Next Wave Of Information published in 2003 by StarGroup International and authored by Alexious Fiero President and CEO of World Wide Broadcast Network, Inc.. Broadcast Allocation Nodes are a way to numerically index broadcast networks and enable them to interact with each other. Although BANS were introduced into the market in 2003 the internet market was not ready for video online at the time and BANS had to take a back seat until the market was ready for video.
In 2007 WWBN began seeing more acceptance to its conceptualities of video on the web and powers serveral networks such as Tribune Interactive, Gannet, Media News Group, Scripps Network among others. For the first time ever these networks now have the capability to interact with each other in the vast video segment of the internet.

Isara is a non-profit search engine and charity organization founded in 2005. It is currently located in northeastern Thailand.
History
Isara first came to exist when Patrick Kirk Gillock (PK), after two years of volunteering in schools and colleges, decided to open a Learning Center where children and adults would be educated for free. During that time, Isara began with a helmet campaign when Gillock found himself visiting hospitalized students who suffered preventable injuries from motorcycle accidents. Gillock felt that serious injuries could be avoided if local citizens were educated about the importance of motorcycle safety and were also provided free helmets. Isara's outreach continued to grow as additional needs were recognized, such as providing school supplies to orphans, aid to Burmese refugees, and building classrooms.
The Isara web site was first created by Gillock in November 2005, as a way to fund projects with ad revenue instead of simply begging people for money. It slowly started to catch on and by early 2006 Isara was able to create projects that were paid for only by the site's ad revenue instead of donations.
Concept
Isara.org is based on the same concept as eg. Google. Websites such as search engines typically make money by selling advertising or being sponsored by third-party funders. The more visitors a website receives the more money they make. Instead of keeping the money made, Isara.org uses the same concept to fund different charity projects. Since everyone at Isara is a volunteer, 100% of sponsors' contributions go directly to the charity projects it creates. The projects are updated daily with photos or videos and visitors can choose to give feedback and suggestions in the Isara web forum.
In order to maximize the amount of visitors and hits, they are encouraged to switch their homepage to Isara.org and to use the various search engines, including Isara's own search engine, ACORN, which is currently being built using the Nutch open source platform.
Various projects
In April, 2007, Isara set up the Isara Learning Center, a free school in rural Thailand teaching English as a foreign language and computers to children and adults.
