A Collaborative ‘search’ concept “Qyo”
Qyo provides shared search queries. You will receive results from your friends, what they are searching in real time. Qyo makes it very easy to leverage the kind of information that was traditionally stored in the minds of people, and that could not be accessed by others unless the other person shared with them. Built on the theory that two (or more) heads are better than one, Qyo attempts to bring collaborative search to the masses and has become a buzz word among other search engines. Prior registration is required to begin search with Qyo. After registering, you will be invited to connect to your Facebook account to get friends and associates involved, too. In fact, without friends, Qyo is a fairly sparse experience.
Once you’ve associated with another person, all your searches via Qyo will be visible to them (and theirs to you), unless you specifically choose to search privately. Search queries appear as a message list on the right-hand side of the screen. You can comment on other peoples’ searches, help them but couldn’t refine their search, expand it, or anything. Qyo makes search social, where people can help each other. Whenever you arrive at the site to search you’ll see all your friends’ searches too. While the concept is unique, there has to be a lot of improvements to be done to sustain in such a competitive ‘search engine” market.
