Comments on: Social search – an innovation waiting to happen http://www.theequitykicker.com/2007/12/04/social-search-an-innovation-waiting-to-happen/ Nic Brisbourne's view from London on venture capital and exploiting change in technology and media Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:08:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Alex Moore http://www.theequitykicker.com/2007/12/04/social-search-an-innovation-waiting-to-happen/#comment-1284 Alex Moore Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:21:35 +0000 http://www.theequitykicker.com/2007/12/04/social-search-an-innovation-waiting-to-happen/#comment-1284 Hi Nick, Nice post, this article resonated with us as we also think search needs fixing. Rather than focusing on the search algorithm, our approach is to leverage the opinion of your friends and like-minded people to help our users find reliable information. We are currently mid-way through development and launch early next year. Would you like us to add you as one of our early beta testers so that you can get a better idea of how it works? Best regards, Alex Moore Co-founder Hi Nick,

As you say though, its hard to convince yourself - let alone an investor - that ots a rational strategy to go against google right now. Although their search is demonstrably worse due to the gaming, it is still a very strong "good enough" for most things. I’ve always thought the next phase will be an integration of social and algorithmic search.
