About Us::
Delver is an intelligent social search engine that enables you to find, experience and benefit from the wealth of information created and referenced by your social world.
Our mission is to empower you to easily discover and benefit from the collective wisdom of your social world. Your circle of friends and extended network are increasingly creating and sharing useful information and media online through: blogs, videos, reviews, articles, websites, music… and the list is only growing. By indexing all that shared knowledge, media, opinions, and activities, we can deliver search results that are truly relevant to you.
How does Delver do it better?
- Delve for "No Country for Old Men" and get insightful movie reviews from your friends and other contacts – as opposed to Wikipedia’s hyper-detailed and factual dissection of the movie.
- Delve for Surfing in Hawaii and discover who in your social world has posted images and videos from their recent surfing trip – as opposed to getting an annoying list of advertisements from the traditional search engines. Plus, who knows… you may just find out your best friend’s hot roommate recently surfed there, and now you’ve got the perfect conversation starter!
- Delve for your interests and hobbies and connect with new people within your social circles who share mutual interests.
Delver - search your world and find what matters to you!

Makes Search More Personally Relevant To Users
Palm Desert, CA—January 28, 2008—Delver (formerly Semingo) will present its soon-to-launch socially connected search engine at DEMO 08 in Palm Desert, California, on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 3pm PST. Delver is the first company to map a user’s social connections and deliver comprehensive Web search results ranked according to their social relevance to that user.
“People want trusted information from their friends, but may not know who in their network is knowledgeable about a given topic,” said Liad Agmon, CEO of Delver. “We make Web search more fun and meaningful by prioritizing results based on a user’s network, while enabling the user to discover others in their extended network who share common interests.”
Delver makes search more significant to the user by organizing friends’ tags and information found on social networking profiles, blogs, bookmarks, photo and video sharing sites; unlike older-generation Web search engines which prioritize the Web based upon the popularity of a given page or Web site. Then, the Delver search engine ranks this information based upon the searcher’s social connections. Since every person’s social graph is unique -- like a fingerprint -- the same query garners vastly different results for each person and reflects the collective experiences of a user’s trusted contacts.
“Delver’s social search functionality has the potential to redefine the way people search for uniquely relevant information on the Web,” said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the semi annual DEMO Conferences.
Since the user’s social connections impact the type of information a Delver search will yield, each user’s results will be different. For example, if a 50-year old mom and her teen son use Delver to search for information on a particular film the results generated for the mom will vary greatly from that of her son, based on the differences of their respective social groups. Delver organizes and ranks content from the user’s network because social connections are critical for discovering more personally relevant information.
