A Webmaster Blog
Jyve, the world’s first “web 2.0 live ask engine,”(probably the first web2.0 search engine) is more targeted than Googling, and more interactive than Ask.com and more helpful than asking “guides” with no interest in a topic, Jyve creates live conversations between people with self-defined common interests for live help and technical peer support.
Jyve believes real people know lots of things that aren’t easily found on the Web. Jyve offers live access to people and what they know, a means of quickly connecting with someone who has the exact information you need or knows right where to find it.”
Any user can use Jyve to get live “how to” information, assistance with Web searches and tips and advice on everything from what type of laptop to buy (and how to configure it) to learning languages, cooking, mountain biking, etc.
How It Works
When visitors to www.jyve.com type in questions, notices are instantly sent to the desktops of logged-in members who have tagged the topic as one they are knowledgeable in. Members can then “Jyve live” by chatting on the Jyve site, or enter one-on-one conversations via IM or VoIP call. Those seeking answers can evaluate an “expert’s” Jyve profile before entering into private sessions or paid transactions.
Jyve’s Success story
Jyve was founded as an award-winning plug-in for Skype users and quickly attracted a grassroots community of 30,000 members in 50 countries worldwide. Jyve was recently included in Skype’s Extras 3.0 suite and continues to bring members of the Skype community together to share information. As the world’s first “live ask engine,” Jyve extends the use of free, Web-based communications to eclipse static search tools.
About Jyve
Jyve was founded in 2004 to bring the knowledge stored in peoples’ minds worldwide online. Based in San Francisco and privately held, Jyve offers members the opportunity to build presence, credibility and business networks online with no upfront costs, and gives manufacturers and service providers a means of extending “peer support” to customers without adding internal resources. Jyve holds two provisional patents for “productizing knowledge” & metering time using Voice-over-IP and Instant Message (IM).
We have seen that there were recent improvements, new features from other search engines too like yahoo suggestion boards and AskX.com and ofcourse the custom vertical search engines that anyone create from Google or Swicki who are already in the search engine war.
I keep using all these search engines and their services, features at different times for different topics. Your comments are most appreciated.

Amazing stuff! Search technology keeps getting more weird and better everyday. I guess 10 years later we may just as well see a 3D voice recognition well response Search Engine that has the intellectual to reply a question from a human, and then go look for it on the world wide web, and then response to a human that it has found a really good answer, or something like “would you like to see more results?”…
