Washington, D.C. - (Website Hosting Directory) - July 11, 2007 - Searchles intelligent social search platform, has upgraded with several new features to combine the user-interactions of social networking sites with the advantages of an integrated social search.
Hoped to strengthen the social networking of Searchles users, the resulting increased exchange of content/knowledge within a user's circle aims to boost the efficiency of the social search engine users have built.
Elias Shams, CEO of Searchles remarked, ''While there are many different venues on the web on which to view your personalized social profile and connect with others, they are all missing the essential core of a social networking site -- a fully integrated social search. Such a search is built by a pool of trusted users who represent a widening array of knowledge and interests which you can easily tap into as you expand your social circle on our site and take advantage of our new my!Searchles features.''
Some of the features included in the Searchles social networking portfolio include: -- A built-in integrated social search engine enabling the users to find and friend others based on interest by reviewing their postings, tag cloud (auto-generated based on postings), group membership. Users are actively showing interests by posting the relevant content. -- The user-controlled group functionality enabling you to invite or reject other users as you wish based on their postings or your interactions. -- Searchles Live!, provides a snapshot of what's happening within your circle of friends and groups -- posting, commenting, messaging, rating, video channels, etc. It facilitates discussion and increases social interaction on Searchles as you comment back and forth with others. A more personalized view of the my!Searchles page will allow users to strengthen their connections with fellow Searchles users -- associations based on common or conflicting interests through the content a user posts and rates.
The connections are hoped to serve to increase the exchange of relevant content and to open the lines of communication between users, but also -- as content is tagged, rated, and shared -- lead to a continual increase in the efficiency of the social search platform.
In addition, the newly released Searchles Live, is designed to be easily adapted to a specific user's preferences. By clicking on settings, users can choose which set of activity they would like to see highlighted on their own Searchles Live page - 'me', 'friends', 'groups', 'fans', 'friends of friends', and/or 'people in my groups'. Users also control the timeframe for the activity displayed - ranging from 3 to 24 hours prior. By applying these search filters, Searchles Live displays a personalized list of posts, comments, or ratings generated by a users' circle of friends and associated groups. The feature will offer users a more enhanced social profile as better insight is given into how users are actively rating and commenting on relevant content. Because of the live feed, Searchles Live also has the potential to facilitate discussion among users as one is notified immediately when new comments are posted. While the Searchles homepage remains a useful page for a view of the broader spectrum of what's currently happening and is popular on Searchles, Searchles Live cuts to the chase and is tailored directly to your interests and preferences.
Searchles is a highly scaleable "social search" platform that showcases expertise, enables collaboration with peers and instantly captures it in searchable knowledge indexes. The platform is a hybrid, combining aspects of "social bookmarking" and "social networking" technology with analytical "social search" capability to allow for network search. The proprietary technology behind Searchles is an evolution of the search engine Dumbfind, developed by veteran search technologist and Searchles' founder and CTO Chris Seline. Both brands are wholly-owned by Searchles, Inc., a privately-held company based in Washington, D.C. backed by angel investors.
