Search "How to?" on Koonji

Koonji is a community powered 'How to?' search engine. The Web 2.0 has given rise to quite a few similar sites, but Koonji is the best of them all because of the sheer size of number of people who use it and contribute to it.


Koonji has articles which explain common day-to-day activities in a step by step manner. On Koonji find articles on How to make Turkish coffee?, How to surprise mom on mother's day?, or How to buy a HDTV?. Koonji aggregates information mostly from the Wikipedia and WikiHow in a nicely organized fashion. The community collects and clips related articles in an unique format called a "Koonji".

The community members collect points for adding to Koonji's or creating new ones. Members can create new articles or review existing ones. Koonji also has articles on products and best places to buy them.

BTW Koonji means "Key" or "Cliff Notes" in Hindi an Indian language. This is an example of an interesting trend. With most links with english words, either already being used or owned by Link sharks, alternative names like these are being thought of.

I had previously covered Videojug.com, which has videos on How to?'s. Its pretty cool, check it out here.

Happy DIY!
