NosyJoe.com - A Social Search Engine

Being nosy is actually a virtue according to NosyJoe. This social search site relies on your heightened sense of curiosity to scour the web for remarkable stories and news. You submit articles of interest a la Digg. And then comes the interesting bit: NosyJoe will extract keywords and phrases from your submitted content to make it easily searched for and thus extremely findable. From there, algorithms are used for ranking and sharing. You see, NosyJoe is a search engine with a personal touch. It uses your input so that results are more contextual to your search. You’ll actually get the answers you’re looking for. You can search NosyJoe by using the query box, or you can click on any category, e.g. arts, business, politics, tech, etc. Results are shown with short descriptions and arrows for voting content up or down. The site is still a work in progress, but you can give it a try for yourself.

 
  In their own words  

“NosyJoe is a social search engine that relies on you to sniff the web for interesting content and submit to NosyJoe. NosyJoe then extracts the meaningful sentences, phrases and keywords from the content and makes it meaningfully searchable, web visible and findable, clusters it into contextual channels and tags and applies a set of algorithms and user patterns to further ranking, mashing and sharing.”

  Why it might be a killer  

Adding a social/human element to search is a great idea. It makes results more relevant which means you won’t have to go through pages and pages of unrelated content.

  Some questions  

How do they rank for relevancy? Will they improve the site design and they layout of the search results to make them more legible?
