Much more difficult to communicate the benefits of a new approach than an incremental approach. However, I think if you keep the solutions rooted in real and immediate problems, completely uncommon can also be completely compelling. Eric, I agree.

But as you say in an earlier blog: it is a disruptive technology. Very hard to get it accepted. I know from experience. I got a PhD on a research project that does exactly that: connecting unstructured knowledge without people interfering. However, getting from a prototype to an industrial product is a different matter. You’ll find people and companies willing to invest in the n’th search engine, but not in something completely uncommon such as an application that collects relevant information without being asked.

I wonder if consumers are generally that aware or sensitive to these issues. Don’t legal or legislative improvements require a groundswell of popular support? If so, do we have that level of awareness at the moment around these issues? Thanks, Bob, good point. I wonder if consumers are generally that aware or sensitive to these issues.

Having more ways to search and getting rid of the near-criminal fringe that relies on data brokering in one swell foop.
