Search engines and social media come together.
Social Media Search Engines
The latest trend in search engines has been to embrace constant media through various blends of social networking relationships. From Social Search sites that allow you to search your favorite networks, to side wiki from Google, and the Caffeine Search algorithm from Google that was supposed to aid you in getting more information about a website based on what is being said on the social web about a company.
Community though, many have found is not something found in an add-on and that also ran does not show adequate recognition of the importance of customer feedback in online media. In fact if the social part of your search is an afterthought, the chances are that this is how people will feel you view them.
Kooiii.com is the latest site to throw their hat in the social media search arena but has done so with a fresh new approach.
While Kooiii does in fact have some of the usual features like the ability to search Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and MySpace, they go much deeper on direct user interaction with search. The entire front end of Kooiii for example is a social community system boasting micro blogging, link and media sharing, business pages and group discussions that are accessible in standard web or mobile formats, with both community and personal rss feeds to keep you constantly updated on the things that interest you most.
Kooiii has put a ?you first? system in place that shares the most recent buzz and trends in a fast and friendly atmosphere.
On the back end is a world class search engine.
From the multiple targeted search categories to the wide web results this engine gathers information at great speed. Other features such as thumbshots and quick view help the user make educated choices about the sites they truly wish to visit. Quick view though is probably the most loved feature for shoppers and students alike.
Quick View allows for multiple websites to be opened in frames right inside the search results page. You can do a search for ?Ipod Nano? for example and compare 5-6 different websites to get the best price or find that special feature you are looking for. Imagine the time saved quoting multiple sources for a book report or essay when instead of visiting 4 sites one at a time you can visit all four at once and on the same page. Quick view can even help authors and bloggers gather information faster while leaving them free and already on Kooiii to perform another search.
Social media search has come a long way from that Google Search Box on MySpace or Twitter feeds on so many engines. Kooiii has joined a competitive area with an unique presentation that will surely care it?s own niche among innovators.
