Google – user generated/managed search results?

There are rumours on this one since a couple of years. But it’s more than rumours because Google is testing “an experiment that lets you comment on search results and move them around on the result page” (Ben Gomes, Distinguished Engineer, Google blog link).

User managed search results at Google

What do you think, should we expect this feature to be public soon? My opinion is negative as the experience shows us we cannot rely on user generated/managed content without heavy supervising or strong and complex filtering/management software robots. Especially when it’s about very large projects like Google’s search engine. I’m pretty sure that this will be a late feature and much different from what we understand it to be today. Of course, a quick release could be the usual “client side management” feature which means the user will affect the search results on his side/account only (without needing a real login account, based on cookies, temps, sessions, ip etc, you know what I mean ).

boring social networks

Is there any single day without a new social network website launch? How many are still to come? I’m getting bored of this trend. And when they ask you all your email accounts and passwords, what you eat in the morning, your shoes size and so on, I’m really starting to dislike what an original great ideea has become.

There are THE social networks and 98% copycats.

e-Business romanesc: content si servicii supraestimate?

Ma intreb daca nu cumva efervescenta din web-ul romanesc nu este putin fortata. De ceva timp se tot aud, periodic, voci si opinii exclamative legate de animatia si boom-ul pietei romanesti de online.

De 2-3 ani asistam la anunturi pline de entuziasm ale agentiilor de publicitate si ale regiilor jucatoare (dezvoltatoare). “Anul 2007 va fi marcat de o explozie a pietei, ca la imobiliare la inceputul anilor 2000″, “anul 2008 va fi anul tranzactiilor si proiectelor spectaculoase”, “veniturile din publicitate online vor urca prin tavan” etc. Si totusi, ca utilizator obisnuit, nu observi decat cateva miscari legate de relansari, re-brand-uiri, redesenari, adica aproape acelasi continut in alte forme sau culori noi si ceva mai multa interactivitate. Parca tot timpul esti pus in garda ca vei experimenta cat de curand noi orizonturi iar acestea nu prea isi fac aparitia
