In a move to solidify its position in the Spanish market, StarMedia Network Inc. Thursday created a separate unit for the launch of Spanish-language portal Periscopio.com.
The portal will focus on quick retrieval of personalized information, primarily through a search engine which boasts an index of more than 110 million documents. The engine can also search by language and country.
The portal's Guia Periscopio guide feature lists 24,000 Spanish-language sites.
