The largest issue with search is that we learned about it when the web was young, when the universe was 'complete' - the entire web was searchable! Now our digital lives are utterly fractured - in apps, in walled gardens like Facebook, across clunky interfaces like those in automobiles or Comcast cable boxes.

Search is an unsolved problem.

As with Google, Facebook was a place that just concentrated a lot of top talent. It's just sort of natural that those people would go on and continue to be successful.

Search is not just an activity or a destination. It's becoming more integrated and more of a platform.

Facebook refuses to let Google index or display content from its site. Facebook has partnered with Bing to make its results more social. Is Facebook acting to leverage its dominance in social towards a dominance in search?

People hate searching.

News seems to travel far more quickly on Twitter and Facebook than through search.

Facebook is so ubiquitous now that it's like another manifestation of the web itself.

I've never had a MySpace or a Facebook page. I avoid that entirely.
