Something's Missing
Ok, I want to read Tom Peters latest rant on OutSourcing. How should I go about that in the physical world. Only Assumption: He wrote about it in his latest book.
1. Locate a Bookstore in the Yellow Pages and obtain the address. (check availability)
2. Find a Map in order to get travel instructions
3. Ask the salesperson or utilize the card catalog to locate the book
4. Open the book to the index to look for OutSourcing, Rants
5. Bingo, Tom says xyz
Whats missing in the electronic world? We have online yellow pages, search engines, and business directories. We have maps that can get us from door to door. We have localized search engines, metadata catalogs, and customer relationship applications. We dont have is a sinking SITE INDEX!!!! Yes, I have heard and written about topic maps but not much in the implementation of this technology has made it into our daily lives. How hard could it possible be to index the pages within the site, extract the key terms from the title, headers, keywords, etc, and then build a cross index.
Oh, here is my old one for those that say it cant be done.
