Social search lets you to tap into your collective intelligence —what we like to call social IQ— in order to answer a question or solve a problem. Q: How are you using social media to change the way we interact with search engines? Search engines give you results based on a proprietary algorithm that ranks websites objectively. While this works for certain types of searches, there are many occasions where your friend would give you a better subjective answer. Examples: when you shop, when you are choosing a restaurant, when you travel.
This is where Wajam comes in. We make social search a natural extension of search engines— you don't have to change your habits, you simply find results from your friends in places where you already search. Q: How can social search change the way we interact with our friends online? Social search encourages you to share more complete status updates when you share links with your friends. By adding keywords, you help identify content so that it's more easily shared and found by your friends.
Social search also encourages you to talk about your favorite products, your interests and knowledge. Wajam never tracks, saves or shares your browsing history or search history.
