Re: Saturday, July 16, 2005
Hi Doc, This is a terrific post. I agree whole heartedly that objective evaluation of search engines is needed. I would go farther and suggest that there are other classes of open, public, infrastructure services that need to be evaluated, such as "pingers" like bl.gs and weblogs.com. Also, blog production software already gets a lot of comparisons, but not particularly comprehensively. Overall I see a web world populated by "web superservices" in the hundreds and perhaps thousands--"large pieces loosely joined" and a need for evaluation of these services and also for other meta-tools for managing their discovery, evaluation, selection, subscription, linking together, testing, deployment and monitoring. You may find a post today of interest in this regard. http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jim/2005/07/18#a991 Best, and thanks for your continuing perspective, Jim
