andUNITE turns search engines into meeting places. By using andUNITE you will be able to see immediately during your normal Internet search at Google, et al who else searched for the same search terms as you did – no extra steps needed!

In this way, other users can help you directly, or, if the search engine results are of no help to you, perhaps you can help others. andUNITE is a unique, award winning Web service where you can find people with similar interests based on search terms. You can sign up anonymously and you always have full control of the privacy of all of your search terms. andUNITE is already fun with only two people and you don’t have to fill in just another profile page since the profile is created automatically by collecting your search terms.

Add andUNITE to your browser search box or install the toolbar for the full functionality including the “social layer” on top of the search result pages and see how exciting it can be to share your search terms with friends or anybody.

What is andUNITE?

* andUNITE is the Social Network for information seekers

* On andUNITE you are able to:
1. see what your friends are searching for at this moment.
2. meet people who have the same or similar interest because of their search terms.
3. see who else is searching for a search term of you.
4. and so on …

*”You are what you search!” – this is the core idea behind andUNITE. The search terms that one looks for on Google and other search engines, help to describe you on andUNITE.

*andUNITE is the only Social Network without an “Ablaufdatum” (expiration date); it always automatically adjusts to the interests and activities of its users.

*Your profile is defined automatically while you surf the Internet, assuming that you use the andUNITE-Toolbar or andUNITE browser search box.

 

The Next Web-BlogSo, jetzt ist andUNITE also schon wieder auf einem englischsprachigen Blog gelandet. Auf dem Blog von “The Next Web” wird ausführlich über uns berichtet. Unter der Überschift “andUNITE.com uses search info to match people” wird auch einmal recht ausführlich auf die ganz frühe Startphase von andUNITE eingegangen. Und als Schlussfolgerung schreibt der Autor Ernst-Jan Pfauth: “I think andUNITE is a promising project. It’s not a coincidence that they won a first price at an entrepreneurship contest from the German Federal Ministry of economics and technology.”

andUNITE uses search information to match people

Ernst-Jan Pfauth, editor of the NEXT web blog, continues on:

These days everybody is talking about the ‘open’ trend on the web. So do I, since it’s huge. Yet I also notice another trend: finding similar persons. It looks like people finally discovered that the web is an ideal medium to meet like-minded people. Last week I discussed matching service Lovest.at, today it’s all about a German service that turn search engines into meeting places: andUNITE.

Read Ernst-Jan’s entire article here. Then give andUNITE a try and leave a comment after this post.
