The Real-Time People Web, Aardvark blog via Altsearchengines (Sept 30)
Sees social search as a change in paradigm - find the people with the knowledge.
"With the Social Search paradigm, online content is used as just an index of what its author knows about; the engine uses this index to find the person you should connect with for your question."
Good in theory - must still vet the person.
Connects social search to real-time search since tweets and facebook updates tell even more about the person.
Really aimed at getting people to join and use Aadvark - it does the routing of questions through social networks including Facebook.
