What is Zudos.com?
Zudos was a technical prototype created by Shaun Shull that has since evolved into a fully-functional social media search engine. The intention of Zudos is not to compete with giants such as Google or Yahoo, they already do an excellent job. The real intention is to bring together the vast variety of user-submitted content into one place and provide people with a unique and easy way search through it. From blogs, to podcasts, to online videos the net is changing into not only a place of facts but also a place of opinions and it is Zudos goal to help you navigate through this enormous amount of user-created content.
Where should I start?
Unlike most traditional search engines Zudos is a great place to find the absolute latest ideas and opinions regarding any topic. From the upcoming presidential candidates to the latest gadget released yesterday Zudos can quickly provide you with the most relevant and recent media regarding your search. Try searching for something more personal to you such as a new song you like or even your own name, you might be surprised at what you find.
What makes Zudos different?
Other search engines focus on facts while Zudos focuses on opinions. For example a quick search for “Apple” on a traditional search engine may provide results from well-known sources such as mainstream media outlets and online encyclopedias, the same search on Zudos will provide you instead with blogger opinions, user-submitted videos about Apple, personal photos, audio podcasts, and more, all of which may have been posted on the internet within the past 24 hours.
