I'll have to agree with this. Projects like the Free Film Project and Free Expresion are great and fairly innovative ideas that don't just deal specifically with software. but also include the ability for expansion and expression of different ideas by just about anyone. Maybe someday they can get some more recognition than they're getting now.
I like the "Best new Idea award" idea. that doesn't sound right...but I think it makes sense.
The distributed idea is interesting, but I think the problem lies not in the actual power and bandwidth of the search, but more in what exactly we are searching for. Much like the article says, I've noticed myself that many of the search engines today don't find exactly what i'm looking for and I myself am still stuck sifting through their results.
I think the search engine community needs a paradigm shift in their way of approaching searches now, with the curve dynamic information has thrown at them. I don't know how well standards would work in this situation. It's up to the search engines to come up with a new way of sorting the huge ammounts of data they collect in an orderly fashion so they can serve us searchers with exactly what we ask for. Ok, so "exactly" is probably stretching it a bit, but I'll settle for pretty damn close.
