Comments on: What is Search 3.0 anyway? http://www.altsearchengines.com/2008/06/11/what-is-search-30-anyway/ The most wonderful search engines you've never seen!

I wrote <a href="http://ihmmedia.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/idee-recue-no-…ou-ne-sera-pasidee-recue-no-2-le-web-sera-3d-ou-ne-sera-pas/" rel="nofollow">an article</a> (for french reading people) criticizing the view that next generation web should be web3D. Adding dimensions is not "just better" : adding dimensions means different ways of browsing, different space paradigm, different organization of information in this space, etc... 3 dimensional representations won't fit all practices. Time will tell which are better suited to immersive spaces and which are not. A simple example : reading is a one-dimensional experience. Printed pages are 2 dimensional and books are 3 dimensional but it is just a matter of organizing the data. Hyperlinks did break the linearity of reading, but what would it mean to read in 3D ? Maybe there will be an answer some time to this question... But for the moment I would not trade a 2D reading experience for a 3D reading experience where I have to move around (even in a synthetic world) to get to the end of a sentence... Scrolling or turning pages is tiring enough ! from Josselin:

Search 4.0 would have to add “time” wouldn’t it? Well, is that so hard?" - Already in the works ;-) Give us a couple of weeks to make this view rock like it should and we'll release it to the wild. Then you can ask about what search 5.0 is and we'll see if you can stump us there. -giovanni, viewzi evangelist “Can there be a Search 4.0 in this scheme?

It builds its own ecosystem based on its preferences. It's pretty close to yahoo! searchmonkey: modules that you are free to choose or not and which let you create your own search engine...
