The point here is that the perfect mix of algorithms and human analysis is yet to be found. Even on the social bookmarking sites, the influence exerted by select groups can affect the over all equation. Yes, the clutter issues always remains.

If I can't remember the URL of the site I'm searching , I will search it by Google or Yahoo! Small Business Marketing was right "We’ll still have to process the data to get relevant info and that is also what the search engines do."

As a result the reliance on search will be lessened over time as new alternatives come along.

In that sense Social bookmarking may grow into more of a classified + local content combined entity. Indeed, local search is another area where bookmarking can be really helpful.

I get results that are far, far from helpful...MSN and Yahoo do a better job. It's almost like Google fails to grasp you're performing a narrow, focused search. Perhaps this is an area that social bookmarking could be relevant in. Where I see a big failing at least with search in Google is trying to find local content relative to the search phrase.

I certainly couldn't put a finger on a date for when we (or should I say Google?) should start to feel the real effects of such a change, but unless Google et al all manage to get a collective clue about Social Media, their advertising revenues — which are currently entirely driven by their search algorithms — will start to faulter...

I Don't think social bookmarking will replace search engines. Will Stumble Upon come out with local search features, movie times, and a maps feature? Don't get me wrong...Social bookmarking is, and will be, a very, very, powerfull tool. Marketers that fail to use social bookmarking will be left behind. Good points.

We all know how easily they can be gamed and until that is fixed, we can't fully trust their results.
