Search has led us astray. The answer may well come from the way we filter information in real life (where we can’t search cause its not free, there’s no google for the real world). We start locally with things we trust and bring in sources local to them. I trust the NYT and my friends, and find new things to trust from there. When I want to find out something, THAT’s the set I search through.
Stickis.com differs from the other annotation tools mentioned here in that it brings to YOU the information from YOUR socially proximate and trusted sources. Wherever you browse the web, it tells you what your personally selected Crowd of friends, bloggers etc have said. This means that you find things dynamically on the web, not on a portal or through a shared but third party url.
In the blogosphere, similarly, I think that the answer is no longer to read blogs from beginning to end. That’s impossible. Who is caught up on their blog reading? If one were totally caught up, would that even be desirable?
Instead, we can start from some things one knows and trusts, perhaps techcrunch.com, techememe.com, startupmeme.com (my new favorite) and the use tools which bring related information to me.
Blogrovr.com does this for blogs. Tell Rovr what blogs you like and wherever you browse on the web, rovr tells you what they’ve said about the page you’re on.
As Patrick expressed so well, we are in the infancy of this phase, but the transcendental change will come from using all this new computing power available to roll our personal views of the web, a 3 dimensional perspective of information grouped according to what each of us cares about and trusts, different from anybody else’s and under their own control. When you get information from only the places you want, there is no SPAM.
“Brave new world that has such [web 2.0 tools] in it.” with apologies to Will S.
