Facebook's implicit web trumps Google's

Techcrunch has a good article on how Facebook will use its implicit web to trump Google. When will they launch web search? Or would they acquire a player .. Blekko might be a good candidate given its already quite substantial Facebook integration.

Latest entrant: Blekko

Possibly the most exciting entrant to the implicit web is the new search engine Blekko, which uses user-curated slashtags to make search more relevant. Disappointingly my blog wasn't crawled yet, but hopefully my creation of the /implicitweb slashtag is going to change that :-).

Better late than never ..

.. getting back to my blog after a long time I noted the subject is still central to what I do on a daily basis, although I now apply it to eCommerce at Shopping.com rather than Customer Service at Openwater.

I also discovered it ranks #6 for this term on Google, not bad :-). Perhaps not surprising Wikipedia ranks #1, funny I hadn't seen that before.
