i agree Bill. I read that Wired article, and my first thought was…do they realize how much stupid shit is already flooding FaceBook? While their user base grows, the quality of content lessens, and that user base is less likely to log in, unless it’s just to check their messages/post a status udpate, which is really what we’re trained to do with it…

Naturally, Google is really offering the goods when it comes to utilizing your online (& offline) network for search: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/10/google-social-search.html

The future of search most assuredly involves your network of friends, family & peers

I don’t even think this much is true. The power of the web is the massive amounts of available resources. The future of search should be rather a way to narrow the results into relevancy more accurately. Facebook, bookmark site’s like delicious, and things like me coming and commenting here is already the network of friends, family, and peers. If anything there needs to be an aggregator where people can group resources they trust and search within those boundaries. For instance I can say I trust anything on the web by: THESE PEOPLE, THESE COMMUNITIES, THESE SITES, …etc. and search within them first – first being important here – the open web results should be secondary at least.

There will be no one size fits all solution not for Facebook or even for Google.
