    That normally doesn't mean a thing as there are different types of intelligences.

    There isn't.

    I really wish AtW had got off his arse and did something with it, but he's all talk and no action.

    Search Engines are going to be hugely important in the future, but they will rely heavily on human evaluation of sites rather than robots.

    Sites that actual people think are good will be 'well up there' in the rankings.

    This requires a bit of investment and some business nouse. There are already big players here who are making trading losses year on year, but who will be worth billions in years ahead. Google will remain the biggest player, but the field is still open.

    Yes, but it was a SKA with a future.
