Industrial Web Search On Your Computer
A lot of things have changed on the web in the past few years, but industrial search has not been one of them. Until now, that is. Industrial Web Search is bringing the Web 2.0 mindset into the world of Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors, and the result is a site that lives, breathes and evolves as the buyers and sellers continually define it.
That's what we mean by Web 2.0. The users (both buyers and sellers) learn and collaborate to make the system better. You may not know what Web 2.0 is other than having heard of it once in a while. But to sum it up: Web 2.0 embraces the concept that the consumers of content (your buyers) deserve input on how that content is classified. IWS does not tell people where to look. IWS tells you where people are looking, and allows you to move your content to those areas. Nobody is locked in anywhere. Why is this better? Well, use this as an example:
Imagine you are trying to list your company in a book. That book needs to be printed, so the sections of the book you want to be in are known ahead of time. So you pick the sections you fit into. Then people who read the book flip to your section and find you.
But what if they don't know the term you put yourself under? What if you realize after the book has been printed that there are other, better sections you could put yourself in? What if you could find out what the people reading the book were doing?
Well, in the book scenario, or in a web Directory you are out of luck, at least until the book is reprinted or the Directory moves you around.
But in Industrial Web Search, we use tags. And tags are different. A tag can be anything that describes your business, written the way you think people will search. But what if you are wrong? Well, log in and change it. What if you don't know you are wrong? Log in and see what people are searching for, even if they aren't tags currently in the database.
We show the searchers the available tags while they type. And we show you searches that yielded no results. That allows you to work with your potential buyers to see how they treat search before you even meet them.
