Okay, it's 10:01am in Silicon Valley and I'm awake and even reasonably alert :-)<br><br>Here's something I don't know if I've mentioned before: One thing we could do to apply the community to improve search results is to constantly rotate in different algorithms and let users rate the result relevance. Sure, maybe Joe Averageuser wouldn't want to have much to do with that, but even a dedicated core of few hundred power users could quickly create significant statistics about what algorithms are *actually* working better. But you'd never want to stop - constantly take in new ideas about what data to collect and how to weight it, then collect data about how well the algorithm is working in real time. Use the feedback from that to "evolve" the algorithms.
