Searchles CEO Elias Shams Raps Social Search and Business Destiny with John Hrastar on DC Radio

Searchles CEO, Elias Shams (the caveman), braved an early Saturday morning to have an in-depth discussion about the current Web 2.0 environment, the web community's rise in DC, as well as Searchles' own past, present and future with Business Destiny Radio host, John Hrastar. The weekly hour-long show focuses on providing CEOs and business owners with useful information and insights on how to run and grow their businesses. This past Saturday, the show focused not only on Searchles but on the evolution of search, social media transformations, and the business models behind Web 2.0's latest innovations.

John Hrastar was really on the mark with his questions as he sought out what differentiates Searchles from traditional search or popular social bookmarking destinations, and how the two concepts are intertwined to build a social network on top of a strong core of social search. John and Elias also discussed how social search concepts can be integrated with online media sites to further their online advertising model in adding key social media components - a market Searchles is currently targeting with our online Social Discovery solutions. Later in the interview, the fact that our nation's capitol is currently home to a burgeoning Web 2.0 community sparks the idea that this search technology could potentially be useful for Government entities as well - certainly new and exciting territory for the social search community.

In the case that your late Friday prevented you from tuning in, you can listen to the entire interview here on Business Destiny Radio's website - pretty interesting stuff. Look Ma, I only said 'Web 2.0' three times. Natch...four.
