Knowledge Sharing - Can Metadata Save the Economy?
In his recent blog post, Seth Earley suggests that economic development and success in the modern age depends on knowledge sharing and that knowledge sharing depends on library science and search-based applications. Do you agree?

Hi Sharon,
First, there is nothing to be saved in Economy (Whoouw, a capital A). 'Saved' points at a religious angle. Funny that results back-ward chained to 'search'. Life as a Search!
So.
I think your hypothesis is as valid as the theory of Marx; a fun story but never, I repeat never you will be able to test your hypothesis. With a bit of luck you might get your hands on further funding based on attributable efforts to start teaching people to search!
Thus.
Agree or not is not an issue; it is non-sense, fun !, but nonsense.
What does help is noise-gating. There is no info-glut but a noise-glut.
Especially the Net is stuffed with noise!
Libraries: keep your institutions away from noise.
Stick to the serene environments.
Cheers, jaap
