In Search of a Better Web:

.

When you search the Web most of the resulting pages contain less than 500 words. This is one of the reasons you get back so many useless hits. Research shows that the known Internet (approximately 20 billion pages) is growing by more than 10,000,000 new, static pages each day. In contrast, the fastest growing search engine database is increasing at about 10% of this pace and so far has indexed less than 20% of the total pages. Most of the search community believes advances in web search from Google and others will now take place incrementally, by squeezing a bit more from Google's Pagerank, or by tuning relevance, or indexing hard to find files. But for the next leap to happen, many forward thinkers believe a new architecture must be built. What if there was a parallel web that contained content that was made up of multi page documents that were "filed" in libraries that could be searched individually without getting all the chaff? What if anyone could add to these libraries without requiring any knowledge of hypertext markup language by simply enabling a menu item on their computer? Wouldn't it be great if you could just put your word, pdf and text files in a folder and then let anyone on the internet access them for research, including the ability to download any of the documents to add to their own libraries. They should also have the ability to annotate any page of these documents for bookmarking and collaboration. What if you could do all of this efficiently over a slow dial up connection? Now you can.
