Slang Who
May 18, 2010
“Slang Who Search Engine Set to Release on May 14” quotes the marketing campaign of the new search engine as saying “It’s a 50-50 chance of the information being truthful. I don’t think I trust it.” Will this new social search engine find exactly what we’re all looking for: the proper search result? Slang Who claims the “secret algorithms” of search giants like Google or Yahoo! aren’t trustworthy and instead relies on “what users feel are the best websites.” Do you trust the users of the internet? I don’t. The project was started by the minds behind Roomster.com, a search engine for apartments and sublets, and debuts on Friday. While the technique is important – Facebook has announced search plugins as well – Slang Who needs more than a silly name and “what users feel” to get it right.
