A new book has become must read in the world of search
Many of us already deal with information overload, and the trend clearly is pointing to even more of the same. So, how do we filter constant streams of complex data to be able to pull out that which is relevant to each of us? Peter Morville’s new book Ambient Findability begins to address this issue. It examines the convergence of information and connectivity and how things are “findable” to us now (think Google) and how will we find them in the future.
We often assume that search engines in their current form are final manifestation of online search. Morville shows us that it is just the beginning. Ambient Findability doesn’t pretend to know all the answers, but presents and supports some novel ideas. The book also puts SEM into a broader context and provides deeper insights into human behavior.
So, if you are interested in how Search will impact us in the not-to-distant future, I would recommend that you take a look at Morville’s book and see how the evolution of findability will impact your world.
