SideStripe.com - Answering Questions The Social Way

The inspiration behind this new initiative is quite a simple one in itself, as exemplified by the chosen tagline: “You have questions, your friends have answers”. SideStripe has been conceived as a way of accessing this information in a streamlined fashion.

That is, SideStripe is something akin to a search engine that looks up information on the different social networking sites where your friends and contacts reside. This is achieved via a Google widget and a Facebook search tool.

As you can imagine, the Google widget will enable you to expand any search you conduct by adding social elements to it such as the results that your friends have already come across and liked. For its part, the Facebook app lets you see your friends’ thoughts right away, as well as contacting them to have their insight as regards any specific matter.

Moreover, using this system is not only inexpensive but also hassle-free – all you have to do is create an account and carry out a setup process from within Facebook in order to get started.

All in all, this solution acts as an effective way of putting collective intelligence to good use. Wend your way to the site in order to see some examples for yourself, and maybe sign up for an account.

“SideStripe is a social network search engine that provides answers from the only source of information that you can really trust: your friends. Your days of searching alone are gone forever.”

It makes for a more versatile search experience that takes into account social aspects and considerations.

How is the setup process carried out?
