Searching, Tagging and Blogging

They are really three different things...

One thing is common amongst them; empowering lost users in the vast world of web for better, to the point information. Blogging does not necessary do the searching part, but if one is aware of the tools and technologies, he can synthesize well enough at one place. I try to do that, to some extent. Perhaps a best example will be http://whatis.techtarget.com/ with their efforts like this

It is beyond doubt that Google has given the Best Standard in Search. If Peter Norvig, Director of research at Google is to be believed, their efforts are on to make it more powerful with better tools in the hand of users. The huge market share of Google and the correlation with the potential towards evolving technolgies; supports Peter's vision. He points to the integration of our various technolgies with simplicity and good implementation plans.

At the same time the technolgies like "Tagging" is making the knowledge searchers intensly involved and organised in the search process. It provides best available way to get rid of information overload and end up spending significant time in information retrieval. Unless one is acquinted and use it in best ways, the results are not so easy to get. Del.icio.us is a good way to manage one's tags; and it is yet to be seen what happens after its Yahoo acquistion. Truely, a cognitive social taxonomy classification process of the Internet.

Wonderfull days ahead ...and technolgies in the hands of consumers to exploit its best....
