Talk:Social searching

Latest comment: 17 years ago by Mtanne

Why is this article in the search results while it contains no text?

Weird. Well I was looking for information about social search engines (I know that google is getting into that now) and found this. So I will start an article. Anyone interested please help me.(Toritaiyo 15:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC))Reply

I removed "That's what makes social search intriguing—and fundamentally flawed, at least at this point." as it is unclear where the flaw is. Is it because of human imperfection ? Please provide arguments and source for this particular point. I also think some research papers on the subject should be added as it's probably the state of the art regarding filters of information (even if it still has to prove it efficacity).

This article really needs a more NPV and encyclopedia tone. Also, there are a few different concepts in social search that are not well differentiated in this article or at large as they are still evolving. I'm making a few updates with this in mind. Also, the term 'social searching' seems awkward. Should we just refer to 'social search' and redirect this entry there? Once this article improved, there should be a reference on the search engine article and on the social software article, where there is a discussion of social network search engines but no article.
