Quotes
Search engines as they exist in their raw form today don’t provide a lot of social interactions, or opportunities for social interactions.
What we’re talking about in the context of the enterprise search is really what are the clusters of your close connections that are most relevant to your particular search activity?
The size of your network is not what matters so much as the quality of the connections in your network – this also applies to search.
Summary
Design Researcher Brynn Evans and Interaction Designer Will Evans talk with Jeff Parks about the importance of looking at the social elements of search including: Social Search Strategies, the Modalities of Social Search, and Design Considerations from these findings.
