This week i went to visit the guys and gals at Lijit.com - Stan and his team there have closed their second round of $3.3MM. Lijit as he defined it is a human search engine like Mahalo.com but users rank the people that give search results. This is also in line with EONS search engine which is called Kranky.
My question is, "Where do the results come from when the ranking individuals or 'Humans' provide the results?" if not from Google or Yahoo? Do they manually search the world wide web over thousands of websites, search engines, blogs, etc.? Maybe SocialURL will join this hype and get some money out of it:) or maybe not.
If you checked out the site recently we added iFrames around your 'Social Web' - go to my socialurl.com/socialurl and click through any of my links and you will see what i'm talking about.
We have our Facebook App launching soon along with every other start up on the net- but i think ours will be very unique and will announce soon and crossing our fingers that it will drive a ton of traffic. (Ilike launched theirs and gained 3MM users in less than 30 days...but no idea if they returned)
I'm writing from Grand Junction - took my wife and kids on a road trip through VAIL and along side the beautiful gorges of the Colorado River. We'll be uploading some pictures soon.
