I want to buy a car. I'm posting about it on my blog and waiting to see how many clued up dealers, or friends of dealers, or friends of friends of friends of dealers, are using the tools that are available to them? http://fasterfuture.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-want-to-buy-toyota-yaris-experiment.html Doc, have just started an experiment of my own in VRM.

We know this because we are computers.

I'd agree it's a good idea, but there has to be some way to tie identity/reputation into it to prevent the return of spam. Blogs work because they have an implicit identity tied into them, and as long as you maintain your own list of sources, spam isn't much of an issue. When you get rid of the identity by only using search results... spam creeps back in (which Google and others have an ongoing fight against). If we could tie Google to our own lists of sources (or some elses list)... we could really cut the noise. We need to mash up search vs identity (or search vs trust) in order to make this usable, and spam free.

Expressions of interest are next. Express a set of interests, and a dedicated micro-web agglomerates just for those interests (collected from the big web). Have as many sets as you want, e.g. spaghetti westerns, cigars, firearms, Claudia Cardinale, mexican fashion, etc. Think of a combination of RSS feeds and subscribed searches with a look-ahead cache (not forgetting anti-splog). A bonus feature is that these micro-webs also get served from your PC/notebook via wifi thus providing reading material for anyone else in your vicinity (and potential source material for their agglomerations).

Keyword searches are too crude. Doc, I’m wondering what comes next… subscribing to searches is interesting, but there’s got to be another way. Keyword searches are too crude.

I'm trying to encourage more people in the company I work for to blog. There's a small group of us and sometimes they need encouragement. Your three paragraphs referencing the Because Effect might be just what they need. Blogs are a great example of the change in production models we're seeing - the shift from created at and by the centre, to created in and by the network. In the case of blogs its 'content'. And we get to be the distributors too. One reason I now suggest people should blog is because it gives them the opportunity to live in the environment they must adapt to - and it's pretty tough to adapt if you don't live in the environment.
