Which works best for any particular search would depend on what you are looking for and what info you possess to start with. It would also matter whether the searcher wanted a human opinion. I would not ask a machine where a "good" place to eat is. But no doubt a machine could better answer, where is the closest Italian Restaurant? Precision? Opinion? Obscure factoid? The SE method would be faster. Neither one will replace the other. They both will be important but my betting money would say 70% SE and 30% social for the speed factor alone. Thanks! Hi Nick

I don't know if social search will put an end to traditional SEO and PPC (or end Google Adwords) but I think it will continue to evolve and develop and change SEM over the next few years (like SEM has evolved over the past 10 years)...thanks for the comment!
