The web needs efficient search engines no matter what content is there, it has to be readily available to the consumer. The last two days have been what miserable for me trying to find a product and realizing that product is fragmented all over the place in word meaning. Let your fingers do the walking as through the yellow pages has to be the premise of the web. If excite can produce, it should be simple and it is not right now. You pop in a search and get numerous responses to your search. As information grows on the web so does confusion. If it takes to much time it is not going to be my retail choice. So there might have to be specialization within the web.

"Time/technology/excellence seem the key determinants in 'place value' for the field of entrants." While this very likely has little to do with what you are referring to, as an aside, excellence very often runs the risk of being at odds with the very precepts upon which the Internet is founded. These precepts have always been a kind of real time experimentation in the depths of the unknown and untested, pushing the envelope, and seeing what works, and what doesn't. "Try it, and if it's broke, fix it," isn't exactly what I would call the calling cry of excellence. While this may be a [sometimes] small price to pay for progress, however, it seems that this approach has served us well, on average, wouldn't you say? And still, it is far from what could be called excellence.
