| I have a solution to the problem of having an ad network (Google) as the dictator of the internet. 1. Create a new browser where the concept of a URL is missing. 2a. Make terms, keywords, concepts first-class citizens. Ban URLs alltogether. Search using keywords to get to the places you want to go, not by typing URLs. 2b. Make it so that the browser gets smarter as you go and accustomed to your prose (the way you formulate your queries). 3. Make it so that the internet index is centralized so that all your browsers use the same "lookup URLS through keywords" service. Also let people use a local index version. 4. Create a buzz around this new browser. Start in the tech community of your choice. They will love using something that has a fair chance of becoming a Google-killer. 5. Your mom and dad already want to use this new browser. URLs are not important to them. Today, they google for "www.facebook.com" before starting their internet session. 6. We are done here. Internet has re-booted. We all profit. Point 2b makes this perfect for the [random tech incubator], wouldn't you agree? |
