KM brain storm
What is it that people and businesses want?
They want information literally at the click of a mouse.
However it's not that simple.
Information must be collected and organized.
Keywords must be created
Search engines developed
and a mechanism that integrates all file extensions/formats
People want to be able to look up "Yellow Submarine" and
receive an ordered set of lists by categories:
Yellow Submarine Poems
Yellow Submarine Restaurants
Yellow Submarine (Beatles)
The reason why a search engine like Google can't meet the challenge is simple:
Google just displays a bunch of links to pages that contain the words or phrases you searched for
It's not organized by category....
Yahoo was on their way, but I think, but not certain, they sold keyword rights to corporations.
I remember the time when I could look up "TCP/IP" on Yahoo or AltaVista and
receive links to very informative white pages on the topic
Now when I do searches on these search engines, it seems like, at least, the first ten links
are to sites that want you to buy some book.
I've already paid nearly $500 for TCP/IP literature
I don't plan on spending much more
Luckily I thought to save the documents I studied...
then you get the portal sites
that contain 50 million disorganized links to nowhere
they think by making the links open in a new page
it will make the search job more easy
horsepuckey
too many damn links
is too many damn links
no matter what half-arsed method you come up with
Perhaps it will come down to
the creation of separate sites on each topic, subtopic, etc.
for instance
I have not checked it it already exists or not
but Im sure there will be a whitepapers.com somewhere out there
but the next generation will be
networking whitepapers.com
erectile dysfunction research whitepapers.com...
How about within a company?
that's where the money is
how will employees want their information platter presented to them?
CONCISELY
not a Windows directory with a gazillion folders and orphan files laying around
that's for sure
