Boy Google has become pretty polluted on the topic of home networking, many of the top pages are thin bags of links, clearly just thrown together to generate google hits and revenue. Here’s my own list of home networking resources that I use.

Excellent point. Really, I think the search engines should be thinking about solving the problem. How can search engines tap into the energy of communities to make search better? We’ll soon reach the limits of purely automated search strategies. When we reach those limits, we’ll need a way to inject the judgement of communities into the search process.

In a sense, Jobster is attempting to address this problem: we will combine automated crawling and search with a trust and knowledge network to create a more effective job marketplace.

In a very small sense, SearchMe is also a response to this problem.

My plan is to allow anyone to take a posting with a list of links and with a single click turn it into a search form. I’ll add a feature that allows the search form to be hosted here for those people who don’t have the ability to host their own search forms. These two features will reduce the barrier to entry for community generated search filters.

It’s interesting to think that a service might crawl your blog, attempt to infer the categories of sites that you link to, and then automatically construct search forms for those different categories. So with no effort on your part I could search “home networking sites that John Ludwig talks about.�
