Social Search Engine Searchwiki Launches, Enabling Users to Find News and
Content from Social Networks
A new kind of search engine is unveiled with the launch of Searchwiki, a
social search engine that spiders both major search engines and social
networking sites.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- People looking for a faster and more
efficient online search experience can now turn to Searchwiki, a new social
search engine bridging the gap between searchers and relevant results. Unlike
other search engines, in addition to spidering major search engines like
Google and MSN, Searchwiki spiders social networking sites such as Facebook,
MySpace and Twitter to generate additional search results. Searchwiki is also
the only search engine that offers redemption points, giving users the
opportunity to receive gifts just for searching, commenting and posting
reviews.
"Searchwiki technology improves on existing search engines by enabling
vertical, community site and Web searches to be initiated from any Web site,"
says Adam Goldenberg of Searchwiki. "Searchwiki's strength is in its community
appeal and dynamic social search cloud. Collaboration between groups of people
with similar interests using a Searchwiki will quickly produce much more
relevant and tailored results for a common group than a generic search engine
would."
In addition to results from major search engines, Searchwiki includes results
from social networking sites, allowing users to find relevant content from not
only leading news sites and other Web sites, but from everyday people on
social platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn and Hi5, as well. This range of search
results lets Searchwiki users find various viewpoints, opinions and insight on
any news topic.
Searchwiki is currently the only search engine to offer redemption points and
generate results that contain no ads. Searchwiki's social search engine
service allows people to accrue redeemable points every time they conduct
searches and/or refer friends to use the search engine. These points can then
be redeemed for prizes and gifts. Users receive one Swikipoint for each
search, vote, comment and review made, to a maximum of 320 points per day, and
can redeem those Swikipoints for items such as gift cards and music players.
