In a sea of tech inventors, one shining star stands stands out in 2022: Josh Bagby, founder and lead developer of Cherokee Connect, a social media based search engine company aimed to take on Google.
What’s exciting about Bagby's tech is that unlike Google's sophisticated A.I. and search engine optimization aimed to find answers from millions of sources, Bagby's tech is powered by people from Cherokee County, GA. What used to be a simple Google search is being replaced by an opinion poll of about 60,000 North Georgia residents.
While the tech is powerful it still has its limitations. For some reason it never produces clear answers on what they are building near and around Hwy 140 or where the best Mexican restaurant in Canton is. We never reached out to Babgy for comment but if we had we are pretty sure he would have probably said something like, "Why did the computer arrive late to work? Because it had a hard drive, jk, its office is off Hwy 20”. What a great guy, we wish Josh and his Cherokee Connect search engine luck in the future.
