Fifth of 7 ways to improve informational searches …
5. Share your knowledge and findings with others
When you search for something on the Web, you are rarely the first or only one to have done that search. Many users before you would have done that search and many more after you will too, and yet, everyone sees more or less the same results, and no one benefits from anyone else’s search experience! Can you benefit from the search efforts or the knowledge of users before you? Or can you do something to share your search efforts or knowledge for the benefit of users after you?
Zakta enables you to publish your findings or knowledge in the form of Zakta Guides. And when you search on Zakta, you can also benefit from the Zakta Guides published by others.
A Zakta Guide is a living document that contains organized information on a topic that you may have found through the searching on a topic, or may have already known about a topic. A well-authored Zakta Guide is an excellent starting point to explore the topic it covers.
