otavo-the-intention-engine-make-your-intentions-known_1199019168453.pngWhile Otavo has been called the intention engine, you may not know the reasons why. Otavo is quite simply a social bookmarking site where users can collaborate on a search project together or on their own. It’s a great community of members and staff who are more than ready to help you with your quest for knowledge on any subject.

Of course, you can always help out on someone else’s quest as well and make some new friends along the way. Members enjoy helping out on your quest and they are given a reputation in the community according to how much they help other Otavo users.

Otavo’s name comes from “Organizing Text, Audio and Video” because that’s just what this search engine can do for you.

The way Otavo works is you start a quest for information on a certain subject and you are provided with a web page where you can add links to the information you know about. Other members can come into the same page and add their links that they think adds value to the subject. This is a great way to gather a database of quality information on any given subject and a great example of collaborative web searching.

The site is easy to use and it’s always fun to work with a group of people instead of just searching for information on your own. Waiting on information doesn’t fit into our current schedules for everything we need to search for, but if you are lucky there will already be a quest for the information you need to know already in progress. This way, all you have to do is see the information about what you need to know, all in one spot without having to filter through pages of junk websites to get to the information you really want to know.

    Certainly sounds like an interesting approach to searching. I just hope that later on it doesn’t become like Wikipedia in that it winds up being moderated to the point of fatigue and pain.
