I wonder if people do search more and more - because it fails more and more. ie those who are still stuck with search are having to search more and more to get something approximating the result they wanted? How does that fit anyone else's experience?David Cushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626601471173841299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-24674720621815765562009-01-08T13:49:00.000+00:002009-01-08T13:49:00.000+00:00Interesting post David.

And are more tailored and trusted by the person in question than a results page in Google.<BR/><BR/>However, I feel uneasy about your comments re search fatigue though - think most stats and analysis will show search is still massive and growing - also that search algorithms have been including links, recommendations and user generated reviews to present the most relevant results they can for years now. Have you seen any stats to back up your hunch?<BR/><BR/>It’s possible to ask your friends/network/colleagues too many simple questions that a quick search can answer for you (anyone who’s ever been sent the link www.justfuckinggoogleit.com knows what I’m talking about)!<BR/><BR/>Have you tried the Canary Islands? Had a great hol there with a young sprog a year ago, very kid/baby friendly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082730261127979630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-77608428203298530312009-01-08T11:04:00.000+00:002009-01-08T11:04:00.000+00:00Hi Simon.

Why must we only look at always exploiting networks of interaction in terms of capital? How can these conversations resist this fate and empower those having the conversations? A growing body of literature is already developing around immaterial labour and the monetization of affect. What interests me is how networks like twitter or identi.ca can add value without making us all part of a marketing scheme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-45678472157910118322009-01-08T00:41:00.000+00:002009-01-08T00:41:00.000+00:00Couldn't agree with you more..

There's an inherent value in the information streams we produce and consume, and somehow the aggregate value of our individual spheres of knowledge and influence, and the recommendations we get from our peers leads to a value, that isn't currently being rewarded.. Completely in line with this, my <A HREF="http://life.magitam.org.uk/2009/01/06/predictions-for-2009/" REL="nofollow">prediction for 2009</A>, is that the money currently being spent on google adwords, is going to start to be spent in the "conversations" around brands, and goods.. Thanking people who have recommended a product or a service.. <BR/>How that works, and what that looks like, will be interesting to see, indeed :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing ;)<BR/><A HREF="http://life.magitam.org.uk" REL="nofollow">Farhan</A>/<A HREF="http://twitter.com/magitam" REL="nofollow">@magitam</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-6424040746941874322009-01-07T14:05:00.000+00:002009-01-07T14:05:00.000+00:00Hi Stephen, great recommendations... but, I forgot...Hi Stephen, great recommendations... but, I forgot to mention I'm going in February - so probably going to have to go further south!<BR/><BR/>Martin - nice line: The conversation is overpowering the algorithms :-)David Cushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626601471173841299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-917047876203834742009-01-07T12:41:00.000+00:002009-01-07T12:41:00.000+00:00Great post!

My recommendation would be Italy (Tuscany) or Greek Islands (Corfu or Kefalonia).
