Web 3.0, Semantic Webs, Social Networks and Swickis - Will It Help?
These have become a vital gold mine for search engines. Think about it, a search engine has to do less cross correlation algorithmically, by instead relying on the intrinsic associations and linkages that teach the engines who's who and what's what.
Unfortunately search engines are still in the one or two dimensional keyword model phase after all these years, and that's pretty lame. Sorry but let's be honest here...
An article in Business 2.0, a stellar magazine for any professional (full or part time information site Blogger) covered the issue well, and even mentioned the possibilities of some of these things unseating the giants, Yahoo and Google. Unless they get bought out by the giants, I say. But it's interesting regarding the cross-correlation of information.
Here's the Business 2.0 article:

I remember there was talk in 1999 of such technology but it turned out to be mere pre-bubble busting hype, it seems. The thinking then was that there was such technology, but the technology didn't happen. It was an era full of empty promises and hype. But are we there yet? Obviously not!
Let me just say a word of caution about what you just read however (in the Business 2.0 article). It's too optimistic because it's a sales pitch. Taking people completely out of the loop? Yeah right, that's still a ways off...
