Web Search is great for objective questions, but subjective
questions generate the majority of search revenues.

   Queries     Search quality
   X00B/yr                 RPMs   Examples

                                  What is Einstein’s birthday?
    ~45%        Great      Low
   Objective                      How much is the cheapest iPhone?

                                  What’s a decent housekeeping service
                                  in SF? How much should it cost for a
    ~30%                          small two bedroom place?
   Research

                                  What’s a good book to read about
    ~25%                          Romantic Poets?
                 Ok        High
   Opinion
Friends can answer subjective questions but…




• Unreliable — small number of friends available to you in
  the moment

• Hard to keep up with what your extended network
  knows about

• Social cost of asking for a favor
Aardvark is a new type of social search.
Aardvark is a communication tool…

 ..on IM             …on mobile     …on Twitter




                                    …and on the web
 ..on email
Why social search?


 • Users want personalized responses to questions

 • Most content is still locked in peoples' heads

 • Each individual’s network is growing exponentially

 • Social intimacy makes information actionable

 • Questions about how to spend your time and money are
   subjective and highly lucrative
The Picture so Far

 • Came out of stealth at SxSW 2009

 • ~85% of questions answered (most in <5 mins)
 • ~70% of answers rated 'good' (vs 'OK' or 'bad')

 • ~45% of answers lead to cross-talk among users
 • >50% of users have answered a question

 • Average query length is 19 words (<3 on Google)
 • ~65% of queries have a subjective element

 blog.vark.com is a great resource.

Some Things We’ve Learned


• ​Intimacy (more than authority) facilitates trust.

• Social context is different than social graph, and is frequently
  sufficient.

• Speakers want to know who they are addressing.

• People do not need artificial incentives to be helpful if there's no
  friction involved.

• People do not like receiving random questions but they don’t actually
  know what’s in their profiles.

  • #20: -I don&amp;#x2019;t see there being any one thing that social search means, but I have identified 3 flavors of social search that are important -collective, FF, collaborative
  • #21: -the other thing I&amp;#x2019;ve seeing in my research are the social strategies people use during search tasks
  • #26: Of asker experiences: 41% take place on the web, 36% on iPhone, 34% over IM, 9% over Email, and 17% are multi-channel Of answerer experiences, 42% take place over IM, 24% on iPhone, 23% on the web, and 15% over Email
  • #30: Hello Ash Rust Director of search relevance at OneRiot &amp;#x2013; we do realtime web search, and have the first market place to monetize the realtime web We&amp;#x2019;re a VC backed company of about 30 people &amp;#x2013; based in Boulder Co, and San Francisco
  • #31: When you think about oneriot, you should think of three things: Realtime search, which helps people find the news stories and videos people are talking about right now 2Realtime advertising, which we just launched this january And our open API, which gives third party developers easy access to realtime content
  • #33: Here&amp;#x2019;s a fun stat: Over 97% of our traffic comes to us via our API, which is being used by publishers like the guardian to build data visualizations, mobile search engines like taptu to help people on the go find realtime information, and social and twitter apps like Digsby to share the most popular new content on the web with their users
  • #34: In January we launched RiotWise, our ad platform for the realtime web. RiotWise delivers links to new, high quality content from web publishers like NYT or Huff Post, matched in realtime to the trending topics within social networks. Ads share links to news and stories that the social web is buzzing about, making RiotWise a great match for social environments or realtime applications.
