This comes from Publish2 Blog and links to some videos that Robert Scoble (late of Microsoft) talks about how resources such as TechMeme, Mahalo and Facebook will beat Google.  There's no doubt that using people to provide content is a good idea, and I've argued on behalf of resources such as  Intute for years.  However, I don't see any of these resources replacing Google any time soon, for one simple reason - if there's any chance that Google think this is going to happen they'll institute a new resource that does the same thing. Long gone are the days when Google innovated - I can point to any number of resources out there that do a superior job to Google - that's not the point. Google can simply take a concept and run with it, and they have the money to do exactly that. [...] [...] The Role of Trusted Human Editors In Filtering The Web.

Notably, as computing becomes ubiquitous, the mass of people filtering the information on the web will scale just as the amount of information does.

Given the context of Africa it is important that we work to bring out the stories, news and information that give a more balanced view of the continent. A simple search on the web usually brings mostly negative news. Let us know what you think www.africanews.com. This is a subject we certainly believe in.

News papers were “a delivery system to an eco-structure.”

“Click per acquistion” and “click per thousand models”

What the heck is he talking about?

Venture capitalist in what? He never mentioned a company? He never answered the question!
