Welcome to kikin!

At kikin, we see social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs) and search (Google, Yahoo! and Bing) as the two largest sources of information online. Innovations in both areas have been amazing, from the real-time web and streams to the Bing decision engine. However, even with all this information and innovation, social media and search rarely work together, and certainly not in a personalized way.

what we do

We started kikin because we were frustrated that most Internet experiences did not really take into account who each of us are or what we want. We see one-size-fits all experiences instead of something that is personalized, rich and intelligent.

When searching, why aren’t our personal histories, trusted affiliations and social graphs used to provide us with personalized, rich results? Surely this data would make search results much more useful.

The kikin Player combines your personal history, your social graph and search to produce a personalized, rich Internet experience by giving you content from websites you already know and love. Content from popular sites including Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and eBay combined with powerful search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing is the start of a “killer” experience – and is the experience the kikin Player offers you today.

Over the coming months we believe that many popular content, commerce and service partners will embrace kikin, as will many “experience enhancement” companies, and kikin will bring all of this to you. Please help us by sending us your concerns, suggestions or just plain comments.
