Is it just me, or does the human-powered search ‘revolution’ evoke images of mice running on wheels to power the internet?

Wait- that’s a fantastic idea! Jason?

The venture capital game is clearly getting frothy again… or would that be irrational exuberance?

Scalability in search using humans? Isn’t that why About.com is NOT the number one search engine in use today? Don’t VCs do research anymore before investing?

Good luck with this investment. It will flame out long before their dedicated staff can index the internet’s offerings to accomodate all the search topics available today.

Oh, Mike, wasting ink is my focus in BoomTown, especially when there is NONE.

Ironic, no?

Now, pedal-powered automobiles? That, my friend, would be something to write about.

I don’t understand why anyone thinks this is interesting; seems like stupid idea to me.

And I especially don’t get why you’d feature it at ‘D’ and waste even more ink on it here.

Human-powered search is the equivalent of pedal-powered automobiles.
