Yes! I had saved the idea as a text file on my desktop. Here it is:
Nuance or Overview
The web has become our primary source of information. And search engines have become the curator/gate to this information. This is great when our motivations align with the search engine, and not so great otherwise. LP of Google defines the ultimate search as one which returns 1 result, the one you are looking for. Many times, however, I am not looking for one result. Rather, I want an overview on a situation, or background information on a topic. This current work describes an architecture for such a tool.
* what about mobile? How does this change the perception.
Use cases:
1) Greek/EU debt. Relevant information could include
2) Researching an investment/stock.
3) State of the art in molecular biology.
4)
Archetecture:
find everything relevant to the topic.
Sort by theme/relevance/filter bubble
Present as a tree, with a history tree (not just forward/backward)
Improvements:
Named filter bubbles-- how would celeb X view the world?
Allow people to volunteer to share their bubble!
Auto-blogging, with immediate relevance to what the person was searching for!
Number of top-level branches in the tree?
