Google, Yahoo etc. have done a good job indexing everything that is indexable. The new frontier of search is about finding what has not yet been indexed or searchable. “We want to capture and index something far more valuable— you.”
Links in search results are people, not pages. Example of asking the question which Harley model is good for a 260-lb. male. An individual with relevant expertise has “raised his hand” and is thus available to chat. A chat opens up, and the answer is discussed and arrived at successfully.
This is very interesting, very similar actually to what many companies fail at on their proprietary intranets — sharing of expertise efficiently. I can immediately think of a lot of information that I could myself share, as well as questions that I would like to ask. For certain key individuals, though this, activity could be incredibly time consuming and/or overwhelming.
