Future of Search – It Isn’t Search – This Funny Video From SearchMe Makes The Point
I was sent this video last night. It’s a video that Searchme.com, a new visual search engine, put together to make a point about how old and outdated search results really are. This brings up an interesting point about users and the current navigation model – or link based search and navigation – it needs to be modernized. I am moving everyday farther from using search as a discovery tool. For example I get things sent to me via twitter and Facebook from people who I know and trust – peers and colleagues. I’d say that 20% of my consumption is not from search. That’s 20% reduction of interaction from search interactions.
The open question that I’d like to propose is: What is the preferred way for users to navigation the modern web? In other words what is the users preference in using the modern web?
My angle is that we will see social nets and real time tools like Twitter setting the agenda on how people discover information. The Searchme video make this point about how old search results and the user experience.
