Social Search Directory Based on Six Degrees Theory Opens Beta Testing

MELBOURNE, FL - Social search is seen as the next evolution in Internet search. Social search lets Internet users rate web sites to determine value, replacing the programmatic approach current search engines use. The 6DOI.com (6 Degrees Of Information) web site takes the social concept to the next level, allowing you to make Friendships and search through six degrees of friends.

Searching for reviews from your Friends and your Friends' Friends provides you with empowering advantages. The reviews can come from a trusted source - someone you know. You don't have to worry about reviews from unknowledgeable or even paid sources. If you are searching for a business, one of your Friends may know an employee or owner that can get you a better deal than you would get on your own. The 6DOI.com engine allows you to search through 6 levels of Friendship to find your closest connection to a business.

In addition to searching for reviews from Friends, you can search for reviews based on the reviewer's occupation. If you are looking for a roofer, who knows the quality local roofers better than local home builders who have had to locate good contractors to protect their own company's reputation?

The 6DOI.com engine also provides local and categorical options to increase your search abilities. If you cannot find a review of the item you are looking for, then you can use the site's Ask feature to simultaneously request help from all immediate Friends.

All of this capability is wrapped in a Web 2.0 site whose contents are driven by the users. Users can elect to review web sites, products, businesses, concepts, or any other type of object. Categories for reviewed items as well as occupations of users are determined by the users.

The value of reviews from known sources is unequaled. The 6DOI.com web site provides users the opportunity to tap into this powerful source of information.
