Mark Cuban warns us against building the American Idol of Search

by on December 23, 2005

Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and the IceRocket blog search engine asks “The better question is – “will objective search remain the people’s choice in search engines?” In other words, is there such a thing as a best answer for most questions and is that what a significant number of search users want?”

There is bias in every system, whether algorithmic or human-based. The algorithmic is just a bit more predictable.

Speaking of human based, have any of you been watching digg spy? That shows you — in live time — what Digg’s members are adding to it. That’s cool. Not sure how useful it is, but I just found this digg about a site that is advocating using the Firefox/IE RSS icon.
