To be honest, the name is the coolest thing about PiraBoogle, a new torrent search engine. It makes me think of salty seadogs boogling round a hornpipe. Whatever boogling is.
Anyway, the site is a mash-up of Google and torrent trackers, claiming to make it easy to search more than 50 of the most popular torrent sites - including The Pirate Bay, Mininova and Btjunkie. The developers knocked it up after recent publicity about Yahoo reportedly banning The Pirate Bay from its search listings.
That said, it's not hugely complex to make this kind of site - they've just used Google's Co-op platform to aggregate listings from the various torrent sites, then bought the domain name PiraBoogle.
