What makes google successful is not only matching the query well, but presenting the results at the time you're making it. In the 90s we thought the model was 'register an interest and wait to be notified when a match happens' Today my blackberry starts blinking every 30 seconds - I had to turn most notifications off. Can we make the notifications smarter -- only if we figure out how to program domain/application-specific intelligence. Once we build a few smart apps maybe we'll learn enough to generalize. Let's start with the phone -- how about propagating calls only from people I designate depending on time of day. How about an algorithm that helps me do that dynamically by analyzing my call patterns and presenting me with a prepared profile (so that I don't have to classify my contacts by hand).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612828846633257923noreply@blogger.com
