Booloo

For those that are sick of hopping from one free tube site to another hoping to find that perfect XXX movie, a porn aggregator is worth a closer look. Collecting porn videos from multiple sources – in some cases, dozens and even hundreds of sources – porn aggregators catalog and showcase content for visitors to browse and watch. It’s the function of Booloo.com: a porn aggregator that first went online in 2011 with the goal of becoming each visitor’s one-stop visit for finding the porn they crave and discovering new porn and pornstars alike they’ve never been exposed to.

But does it succeed like the best porn aggregators on ThePornDude? Does it flounder and drown under its own mediocrity, or does the site land somewhere in the middle? It’s an answer with multiple answers, though one thing is sure: Booloo nails it where it counts the most.

Insane amount of porn to watch

While there isn’t an official document that states that a porn aggregator like Booloo needs to feature more pornography than one person could ever hope to watch, visitors at least expect porn aggregators to have cataloged more porn than most free tube sites. Indeed, that doesn’t pertain to a behemoth free tube site like PornHub that uploads a seemingly infinite wave of user-generated content. Still, when it comes to the typical free tube sites porn fans visit regularly, porn aggregators need to offer more: more videos, more categories, more options all the way around.

Consider the latter option later. For now, know that Booloo offers a ridiculous amount of content – more than most visitors could ever hope to watch. There are over 57,000 pages – pages, not videos – of porn videos ready to be watched at any time. With roughly around 200 videos per page, it’s not a stretch to say that there are over 12-million videos available for one’s viewing pleasure.

That’s a staggering amount of porn, though it’s par for the course when it comes to other porn aggregator’s numbers. Add to the fact that there is always porn being added to Booloo, and it’s easy to see why so many people have been visiting the porn aggregator for years. If someone could keep Booloo’s tab open in their browser and continue to click refresh, they would even see the number of pages available on Booloo grow. As stated, as of this review, there are over 57,000 pages available – that number will quickly be dwarfed sooner rather than later. It never stops getting cataloged, meaning there’s always new content to watch.

Easy to jump straight into the action

For visitors that want to dive deep into the first porn videos they see, Booloo more than satisfies. That’s thanks to the enticing, crystal-clear thumbnails that draw users in and make them want to see what the video is all about. For a porn aggregator that has cataloged millions of videos and are adding more content to their library around the clock every single day, it’s impressive that every thumbnail is uniform, detailed, and doesn’t force users to squint to make out what is going on in the image. Each thumbnail autoplays a succession of hot clips when the user hovers over the image, showing visitors exactly what they can expect to find in the video. It’s a success that the porn aggregator should be proud of, and it makes spontaneously jumping into videos easy.

While each video listing needs to be more detailed for the kind of porn fans that jump straight into a video based on how the thumbnail looks rather than the details of the video (more on those in a moment), Booloo makes it happen with ease. Users are going to want to watch these videos – regardless of the kind of content, they’re there to watch in the first place. That isn’t to say they are going to click on every video they see, but they will find it appealing. For the users that always straddle the line between wanting to click on a thumbnail because it looks sexy to passing it by in hopes of finding that perfect video on the next page, the thumbnails will push them over the edge to at least click on the thumbnail and open it in a new tab for later viewing.

Unfortunately, the video listings on Booloo do not feature much information beyond beautiful thumbnails, clickable tags (more on those later), the duration of a video, and whether it is in HD. Sure, how long a video lasts and if it’s in HD or not are all good things – clickable tags are also helpful for a site that doesn’t even have a categories page (more on that in a moment). But why not include how many people viewed the content or when the video was added to the library?

Site design is atrocious

This brings us to the biggest problem of Booloo: it’s site design. It isn’t that the lack of a view count or showing when the content was added is one of the Booloo’s biggest problems – it’s a symptom of a much larger problem: its poor site design. The background is uninspiring, but that could be overlooked and forgiven. What can’t be forgiven is how the tags are applied to every video listing on the site.

Most video listings have a set of tags that can be clicked to view additional videos matching that tag. It’s a good idea until a person sees if for themselves. The tags take up so much site real estate space and are so poorly implemented that, in most cases, they drive an entire row of video listings down with it.

For example, each row has approximately five videos. The tags lie under each listing, but only two-to-three tags can sit in a row. The tags are pushed down and applied below those tags. Once that row is filled, another set of tags are applied below those tags. This continues until all the tags have been added.

Thus, the entire row is shifted down to keep the thumbnails uniform. The result is too much white space between a row of videos and a list of clickable tags that look more like a wall of text than a series of tags. While this isn’t a big deal for videos that feature a few tags, a lot of videos feature 10+. In some broad videos, some of them even feature 20 or more! It’s ugly, and Booloo needs to seriously consider adding a section just for tags instead of applying them to every single video. It doesn’t work, it looks unprofessional, and there are too many videos to browse through not to fix this mistake.

Lastly, the lack of categories on Booloo is mind-boggling. It would be understandable if the porn aggregator didn’t feature a categories section because there was a tag page, but there isn’t even that. It’s as if they thought applying the tags below each video was suitable – it isn’t. The porn aggregator seriously needs to either add a categories section and tags page while removing all of the tags below each video listing (best case scenario) or remove the tags from each listing and apply them to their section on the site. Either would be better than what Booloo is currently doing, and they should consider changing now instead of waiting for their catalog to grow even bigger.

Excellent variety of hot porn

Questionable site design choices aside, Booloo succeeds where it counts the most: the porn. The amount of fantastic porn here cannot be understated. Especially for those that want to see sexy AAA porn in all of its HD glory, this is the place to be. While there are more amateurish videos here, the bulk of them are professionally made porn. If that’s one’s forte, they’re in for a treat: if not, they may be searching a tad longer for the right porn (case in point: this is exactly why Booloo needs a categories section).

One of the most impressive things about Booloo is that it overcomes one of the hurdles of porn aggregators: forcing users off the site to watch content on a third-party free porn tube without the ability to bring them back again. Those that watch porn regularly know that once a person starts browsing another free tube site, the site from which they came from is in the back of their minds. Booloo solves this by actually embedding all of its content directly in Booloo.

It’s rare that a porn aggregator actually embeds every bit of content on its page, but Booloo has done it. Thus, when clicking on a video, there is no need to worry about whether or not that video redirects users to a safe free tube site. What is watched on Booloo stays on Booloo, and it’s perhaps the porn aggregator’s smartest decision.

Suggestions:

Booloo.com features more porn than most people could ever hope to watch. With new porn added around the clock, it’s hard to keep up with what has been added. Booloo needs to implement sorting options along with a categories section (or at least a tags section) while giving its overall site design a serious facelift. The clickable tags that rows of video listings downward especially need to be fixed.
