    Lavva.com - Searching Goes The Social Way

    The word “social” is on everybody’s lips right now. Twitter has revolutionized everything, most notably the times of response to current events.

    So have networks. There is so much information there that we know we can rely on them in order to find both personal and professional information about any single person. It is not surprising, then, that the “social” concept will be applied to other entities and frameworks. This particular initiative does that for search engines, as it brings about a search mechanism whereby results are influenced by those who use it. This is done by turning search from a mere pattern of words into a social environment that learns from the users' behavior.



    In this way, the basic role of the user is redefined. Instead of being part of a process which is dictated, the user begins dictating the process itself, and determining which results will actually be showcased when others do carry out a search. It is a good idea for a change, and one that takes the experience of users fully into account for creating a different context in which information can be accessed.

    It is a natural evolution of the social concept.
