Google announced acquisition of Aardvark – The new kind of social search.<\/p>\n
Through the “social search” term I thought it has to do something with what Google’s has said earlier in google’s official blog “social search getting more social” !<\/p>\n
But that was actually in your google search, you get a saperate result from your social circle on the same page.<\/p>\n
Aardvark is different and have a “New” concept!!<\/p>\n
At vark.com you ask questions and system finds the person who can answer your question from your social group.<\/p>\n
Aardvark actually analyzes questions to determine what they’re about, matches each question to people with relevant knowledge and interests to give you an answer quickly.<\/p>\n
While sigining up you’re asked about your interests – area of knowledge<\/p>\n
[ I think they must be matching questions against those tags – lazy programmer’s logic! \ud83d\ude42 ]
\n[ad#ad-2-250x250img]<\/p>\n
After that you’re asked to add it to your Google Chat to get instant(IM) answers otherwise you’re intimated through mail as well.<\/p>\n
To me vark.com looks pretty promising though, which is why Google invested! right? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Well I tried to ask a question: “Where is my pen that was there in my computer table with blue ink?” and in return I got ping back and mail with some pretty cool answers – as my question was nice.<\/p>\n
It’s like twitter without @ in conversations, Orkut’s comments replaced with question and answers form and more closely to facebook where you comment just below the main post \/ question \/ status.<\/p>\n
So it’s a new tool to play with – lets see where it leads though.<\/p>\n
