[Sigia-l] re: the future of search

[Joe 10]

Ah, but the problem with them is that they are, for the most part, 
not my friends or acquaintances. Another problem is that the 
rating/primacy of the results is not (is is not overtly) linked to 
quality of the site as judged by the person as it would be in a "peer 
review" (to stay with the concept at hand) system.

Even DMOZ doesn't, to my knowledge, reveal who is reviewing what 
topic. Just like you get to "know" the movie reviewers in your local 
press, anonymously listed directories could, to some extent, be 
replaced with an automated social network query type of thing... kind 
of like a List-Serv works; you post or follow a thread and read whose 
you think will provide value.
