Searchles in the Washington Post: "If You Build It, They Will Come", says the Caveman

If you happened to be reading the Business section in yesterday's Washington Post, you would've caught an interesting article regarding the social networking and social media companies popping up in and around our nation's capitol. Silicon Valley is just shaking in its boots (or perhaps that was an earthquake...tough to say).

Washington Post Staff Writer, Zachary Goldfarb writes, "a modest community of about a dozen such companies, with names like Mixx, Searchles and Qloud, has emerged in the region in recent months. These start-ups hope to build on the success of YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and other interactive media sites by creating applications that piggyback on -- or replicate -- the goliaths."

Mr. Goldfarb, we're certainly happy we caught your eye!!...and we love piggyback rides, but we're certainly not trying to replicate google. We just feel our social search model has the potential to weed out the irrelevant content and point the interesting content in your direction a bit more efficiently. In addition, social networking features integrated into our social search offers the ability to easily find and connect to fellow users who share your interests. While we're Washingtonians at heart, we're also excited to have an international base of users to be able to offer various cultural perspectives on current events! (did we mention our Alexa ranking was once down to #516 in Moldova?)

So have a look at the article in the post! Also check out this sweet Searchles video made by one of our users below!
