One of the things I talk about on this blog regularly is the need for the technology to serve people and not the other way around. <em>Why</em> are we creating this? <em>Why</em> will this offering matter to people? So often we get caught up in the dazzle of cool technology 'just because we can', and we forget what prompted us to get involved in the first place. People matter—we are at the center of the equation. So true, Melissa!

I guess I would look differently - what is it that makes us want to search? Why? If we think about The Long Tail - in particular the rise of an infinite number of niche markets & niche interests, then we see why search matters so much to the general consumer... how do I find the niche I am in? How do I even know I am part of a crowd, when that crowd is widely distributed geographically? The need to build community, and belong is a key part of Search in the future... finding people like us, who are interested in the same stuff... that's the biggest application! I love that "search" is so widely expanding - my current favourite is last.fm (I didn't even know there was Chilean Dub before).
