There are other types of search engines such as WoframAlpha, which aims to systematize knowledge and Aardvark which aims to find answers from trusted members of your social network (not the burrowing, nocturnal animal native to Africa).

Users begin by signing up when they elect to communicate with Aardvark via their email or Internet Messenger service. Aardvark then goes to the users Facebook account and checks their interests and friends. The user can ask their friends to sign up to Aardvark and when they do your circle of friends and friends of friends within Aardvark begins to grow. Users, as well as ask questions, can answer them and are able to control the type of questions they get.

The Search Engine Not The Animal

The Search Engine Not The Animal

Aardvark, in common with all search engines, has an algorithm that controls answers to queries. The algorithm takes into account the relationship between the person asking the question and the individual providing the answer, their knowledge topics, location and whether or not they are currently available.

Aardvark answers the question in real time which can be as quick as five minutes, the answers being supplied via email or Internet Messenger.

Aardvark has the potential to become an influential source of trusted information in this world of scam and misinformation. Like all things social whether it succeeds or not will depend on its appeal to a fickle public and the efforts of its members.
