As if you weren’t spending enough time glued to the your
social media feeds already, along comes a new service that will have you…well…glued
to your social media feeds. But this time, it won’t feel like a front row seat
to what Bottlenose CEO Nova Spivak calls the Sharepocalypse–a phenomenon that
causes, and is caused by, social overload. This time, were talking about
searching for things and getting near real-time well organized updates from
Facebook, Twitter and Google+ in an era Spivak hopes will be the next frontier
in social networking: social assistance. The company wants to “organize the
world’s attention” and why not, we need it.
This latest attempt at getting the
whole social search engine thing right is using a homemade algorithm that will use
fancy semantic techniques to figure out what loads of people are paying
attention to in real-time. The ‘Now’ page with its trending topics, people and
images is not quite the latest illustration of James Surowiecki’s theory on the
wisdom of crowds, but it may get close. In any event, this service wants you to
ditch Google and use Bottlenose as your default search engine. Not likely, but
worth the ask.
