Hi, I'm the author.
Sorry, but you're wrong. Understanding a good amount of detail about your users, and in particular, about their social context, is a massive win for search relevance. Google invested quite a bit in acquiring Aardvark, for example.
So, even if you don't ask your friends about something, the information is still really important.
