The Future of Web Search: From Static to Social to Realtime
The basic premise of realtime search is to answer the simple yet important question: “What are other people saying about my query right now?” The result is an intriguing blend of news, trends, navigation and discovery, all powered by information users are creating in ever-increasing quantities. Traditional search engines struggle to keep up!
Search panelists from Yahoo!, Facebook, OneRiot and Collecta, will come together to discuss the future of web search. As the usage of real-time search starts to vector towards the mainstream, there are important questions to be answered such as: Why are realtime search mechanisms necessary? What does this mean for classical search providers and can they coexist with realtime? What are the use cases for second by second indexing of the web? What are the primary use cases of real-time search?
Panelists will discuss the persistent democratization of the internet and how social behavior and graphing plays a major part to index the realtime web. Other topics of discussion around realtime search include monetization strategies, the challenges facing traditional search engines, creating viable business models and the pervasive issues of spam and scalability. Attendees will leave this panel with a better understanding of the nuances, the challenges, the consumer and business opportunities and ultimately the value of delivering a new generation of search that is social and realtime.
