MC Hammer interviewed at Web 2.0 Summit 2011
summary
Announces a beta social search engine called Wird/Wireo that bundles crawled public data — real estate, schools, hospitals, GIS — into relationship-driven searches that surface linked metrics like API scores, teacher credentials, average parent education and counts of expulsions/suspensions; plans a December launch. Claims the index returns contextual panels beyond ten blue links, saves user time, and may grow via social recommendation. Notes social trends are dominated (~70% driven by African-American community) and previews a Voter In platform for civic mobilization.
