This post keys into an idea I had recently to combine Klout with anonymized/aggregated web history data (i.e. from a browser extension) to build a URL quality/trending score. Google could obviously do this with Chrome, but I'd like to see a more open method of distributing this data to allow anyone to build on top of it. In the same vein, I'd like to see an open service that websites could ping when they want a page to be indexed. This would allow for a more open and efficient crawling ecosystem than currently exists. In general, development and ownership of search and social should become more open and distributed just as telephony, electricity, operating systems, and so many more large industries before it.
