Say hello to BuzzBox

BuzzBox is the new service Anu Nigam and I have been working on. Just as the web got really big and needed search engines to help find the good stuff, the social web is growing even faster with all the user generated content and life-streaming and needs a similar solution.

This time around the rules are different. The bi-directional meta information that PageRank feasted on is largely not there, but people have a rich social graph that is ripe for collaborative filtering and the level of sharing of personal information is at an all time high.

Take BuzzBox for a spin and let me know what you think.
