Just a little comment about the 2-D and 1-D web and the effect on search. I strongly think that the 2-D web has died before it is even born! Thinking tags-oriented did not accomplish the intended task. We all were happy seeing some visual relations between the cities on the maps. We play with that, maybe come again for a couple more plays or demos, and then we revert back to the 1-D web, where Google remains the king. Remember: “the user is always right!” My expectation for the 3-D web introducing the semantic search for example is better -- that is when machines can build correlations between the online content. On a last note, I much agree about your equation: FoS = VSE + VUI. The user will be the happiest though if the search can at the very 'same place' be/display/return VSE’ed and VUI’ed results. Hany Excellent, precise and concise piece!
