The "Special" New Social Search Engine-Qyo

     Qyo is the new social search engine that provides shared search queries. Qyo is the first search query sharing system which allows for social information discovery and real time collaborative search. This search engine requires users to register before they are allowed to search, ask, find, and discovery. Users are invited to connect to their Facebook account and get friend involved. In fact, without friends, Qyo is a fairy sparse experience. 
    Qyo is also enables users to search what their friends, family, and coworkers are looking for after they connected to Facebook and invited their friends. Once you have associated with another person, all your searches via Qyo are visible to them, unless you specifically choose to search privately. There is a "Private" button next to the "Search" button. 
     Besides that, Qyo allows users to "discover new idea, products, event, people, and places". While you type in the keywords, this new search engine will came out with the web result and the comments answer from the others. So now, do you know why Qyo is a Social Search Engine? It is because it works like Social Networks Site(SNS).
       I have tried to observe this Social Search Engine, Qyo. You may see the different between "Search" and "Prinvate" search through the screen shot below.

When you click on "Search", the Query Feed will show what you have search. 


Search as "Private", the Query Feed will not appear the searches history.
 
     Do you interests in this kind of "Special" Search Engine? Would you like to experience of sharing and passing out search search and result to those within the users social circles (Allow users to share). If you have interesting, you may me visit to Qyo.co by now. Just to remind: you are needed to register an account, then start enjoying search and share.
