If on one side I feel a good degree of enthusiasm to see Europe get off its ass and do something in the means of establishing more web services on european soil, on the other side I really don’t have much hope of seeing that much of a result coming forth.
Can someone remember StumbleUpon? It was more effective at listing and divulging web content than search engines.
At this point, I think having a huge listing of websites, where one could sign up their site or or have it signed automatically when then registering it, would be more efficient than relying on a handful of search engines.
Sounds to me you kind of need both. Let’s take reddit :) as an example ; On one hand you could register it as a platform but then you’d need something to index the posts themselves so that you get relevant results for on-plateform content. Not everything needs to be a hammer :)
