Earlier this month RWW wrote about social search engine Aardvark and called it " A Better Social Q&A Than Twitter". The San Francisco based company has decided to beef up its technical team and plans to roll out a new iPhone app in the next two months. It has hired Director of Yahoo's Grid Computing Group and a founding member of the Hadoop project Sameer Paranjpye and Ben Keighran, the founder of mobile messaging service Bluepulse to help push the project forward.
Prior to his most recent Director position at Yahoo!, Paranjpye was its Engineering Manager of Web Search Indexing. Before that he was a Senior Software Engineer at Inktomi. Keighran is the founder of the free mobile search messenger Bluepulse. Be sure to check out his blog and follow him on Twitter @benkeighran. Eric Eldon of VentureBeat caught up with Keighran to speak with him about Aardvark's exciting new plans, be sure to read that post here.
