We need to create better ways to curate and search information. Google isn’t personalized enough and people don’t want to give more data to Google. Social is often a good heuristic for information discovery (ie. filtering search to your following on Twitter) but is limited in search space. Anyone working on this?

I think we’re closer than it seems to the next stop of info sorting. First step has always been accurate audio transcription, which we’re getting to far faster than I anticipated.

I don’t think the best and brightest will concentrate on sorting until we have a majority of info indexed.

The biggest barrier to information access right now is efficient indexing. We have decent word/char parsing, but until we can auto-categorize/analyze video and audio, no collection of info will be robust.

Hmm, what’s the significance of audio over text though? My thinking was that  we are struggling to efficiently connect information/knowledge on the internet  (mostly in text form) with our own ideas and understanding. So i don’t see audio (which is a different medium of information) fundamentally affecting sorting.
