Comments on: Persistent Search: Search’s Next Big Battleground http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2006/04/11/persistent-search-search%e2%80%99s-next-big-battleground/ Jeff Nolan's take on investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and the technology industry Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:20:20 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Lalit Sarna http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2006/04/11/persistent-search-search%e2%80%99s-next-big-battleground/comment-page-1/#comment-1117 Lalit Sarna Fri, 14 Apr 2006 13:15:31 +0000 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2006/04/11/persistent-search-search%e2%80%99s-next-big-battleground/#comment-1117 Jeff, Persistance Vs prospective search debate is beginning to heat up. A few companies such as PubSub are innovating in that space. However I see lack of innovation in the space of relevance of search. There are plenty of technologies that help rank the results based on popularity in generic categories. However relevance should be a measure of both relevance of the content and the relevance of the author to the individual consumer. Once relevance is established filtering mechanism based on reputation of the author and content can be used to devise ranking systems personalized to a users need. Further more in the fragmented space of multiple devices that enable access to information of multiple channels, information needs to be customized to meet the UI limitations of devices. As I mentioned during our brief conversation at the TIE Web 2.0 for the enterprise event ( Indian guy with long hair ), at ConnectedMix we are building upon the innovations of the likes of PubSub, Myspace, 4Info and developing reputation enabled community aided vertical search approach to tackle this issue. Interest based communities narrow down the relevance of the content created by like minded people. Open reputation for content and author creates filtering mechanism. Personalized access to data customized for your medium of choice help address the UI challenges. I would love to connect with you and get your feed back. Jeff,
