Sightix Social Search - Personalized Search on Steroids
Filed under: Personalized Search, Search Engines, Social Networks, social search
I just returned from a 10 day vacation in Israel with my girlfriend. While traveling I met a guy named Elazar Heim, who is a Product Manager for Sightix. Sightix is a social search platform offered as a service for social networks that returns personalized relevant results to their users. Google has been trying to improve the relevancy of search results via personalized search for a while now. There is no question in my mind that this type of technology is the next step in the evolution of search. As social networks become a ubiquitous feature of being on the internet, Sightix social search will become more practical. Could Facebook’s implementation of this type of social search engine be the real Google Killer?

nice… I visited Sightix’s site (www.sightix.com) but there is not enough information… can you tell us more about it?
as I understood, it is only for social networks, do you think they will make it a landing page one day?
Hey John, I haven’t done a whole lot of research on Sightix, but you are correct in that it is currently only for separate social networks. I think in the near future they will always be a service tied to separate networks. Maybe if they ever get involved with OpenSocial they will be able to aggregate information for their own search engine. I plan on doing a more in depth post on these guys fairly soon over at my company blog (blog.ogilvypr.com). Stay tuned…
