That’s why Wajam gives you search results based on what your friends share, on top of your normal search results. Wajam seamlessly integrates with your regular search habits. Search in places like Google, Amazon, Yelp, Trip Advisor, and Ebay and get relevant results from your friends. You choose which social networks you want to get search results from; Wajam lets you add and remove sources without any hassle.
