A nice post over at TopRank about the implications of Social Search which they describe as;

"Social search can be defined as a third and distinct area of search marketing. Rather than an algorithm or an auction-based ad system providing results, social search is the community of web users who are the authors of such answers."

The opening editor’s note makes a great point "Social search isn’t the new kid on the block anymore, but it still has [its] mystery as far as search marketing implications."
