Booshaka: Search Engine for Facebook Posts
June 3, 2010
FreshEgg’s take in “Booshaka – The Social Search Engine” is a lackluster one. While the concept is novel: searching all public Facebook posts (and pages, etc.) for keywords, it fails to help deliver tangible results compared to the almighty Google archives. The author’s few example queries yield a lot of “noise” – mostly glimpses into personal lives of users who haven’t messed with their privacy settings. “I cannot see George McDougal from Townchester influencing my decision to purchase a product from his personal rants.” And who would? Booshaka may not be for solid product advice, but instead for seeing who’s talking about Lady Gaga, and what they think of her (she happens to be a popular topic on the splash page). Don’t let Booshaka tarnish your idea of social search, it still has some serious refining to do. Just our opinion.
