Video Interview With Unity Stoakes, OrganizedWisdom President

OrganizedWisdomThis morning I headed down to the OrganizedWisdom headquarters in NYC to meet with Unity Stoakes. Unity is one of the co-founders and is President of OrganizedWisdom. OrganizedWisdom is a human-powered, doctor-certified curated search. We first reviewed the service last October when they presented their launch demo.

Please view our interview below - it runs about 15 minutes and some of the topics we covered include:

  • What is OrganizedWisdom?
  • What's a wisdom card and how many cards are there today?
  • Are you creating content or just showing search results?
  • Plagerism issues - this was running wild in another human powered search engine
  • Do you allow the public to contribute?
  • How do you compare to NY-based Hakia's health search and iMedix?
  • What's the business model -- this is actually very interesting - Unity discusses a variety of components to their business plan unlike some of the other human powered search engines that are looking at advertising as their only revenue avenue
  • What's the team like in NYC?
  • How does someone become a guide and what qualifications are required?
  • and more but you have to watch for the rest!

Unity also shares some details on a brand new service they are offering called "LiveWisdom" - it's at the 13 minute mark in the interview.

Thanks to Unity for spending some time with me this morning!
