And, from your article:

< My question was how can advertisers get in front of this crowd, and would it marginalize the general search engines? >

< How can this generation -- with such high lofty expectations -- get sufficiently personalized answers from a general search engine? >

Most (or, a lot) who frequent these “social” sites, (myspace.com etc) also study full time. They “can” get the opportunity to mix some leisure/pleasure and get to prepare a report (or, an assignment), at the same time ….. Just a thought!

Bambi …. Guess what?

Looksmart have, both the expertise and “tools” to ensure a long lasting success of any “venture” of this type and a Licensed Furl on each publisher/media Co’s individual site, then allows “users” to “save & share” what is relevant to that site’s own “group culture” and at the same time, they share their ‘finds’ with users all over the world.

ps; < But Marckini brought up an interesting point regarding paid inclusion: "Yahoo is the only search engine that is currently monetizing [its] 'natural' search results," he said. "They do this by selling their 'paid inclusion' product that charges advertisers for inclusion into the Yahoo index but does not impact their position in search results. ... I consider paid inclusion an underleveraged asset that more marketers need to test." >
