Well, that's the problem with having an ad broker serve as the primary user interface for the web. I'm honestly not sure how that problem gets solved. In theory, it just needs a collaborative low-friction curation scheme, each of whose contributors has both deep knowledge of one or more fields, and the Google-fu to find worthwhile information about them. Indexing and staleness aren't particularly hard problems; in the former case, Google itself can probably serve the need, and in the latter, the Internet Archive will amply suffice. Dealing with bad actors, on the other hand, strikes me as a highly intractable problem. Actually, the more I think about this, the more it seems like it might be worth pursuing further -- certainly at the very least it'd be preferable to the haphazard collection of bookmarks, spread across three different machines, in which currently reposes my collection of substantive information on a variety of technical subjects related to my hobbies and occasional pursuits. The technical side seems relatively straightforward. The user side I'm not so sure about. How do I make sure the information is good? How do I filter out incompetence and malice on the part of curators?
