Website Fantasia

In today's modern search engines, we are coming close to linking specific thoughts of individuals together. But according to a tech-guy friend of mine, he says that the current search engines will not fulfill what we are looking for. Do you see people getting what they want if they want to look for when they type 'i'm looking for a new pair of shoes'?

(While hunting for a domain, I came across this... pretty similiar to what I would have wanted to do...)

If you wanted to look for someone to eat supper with you in the middle of the night, you flip through your MSN... but when you want to get to know new friends you go for friendster/myspace right?

Some people say that the current 'interests & hobbies' can do that too. I beg to differ; if you would want someone to chat with, would you go click on someone who has the word 'chat' in his/her interest lines?

People get together when they have similar goals and needs to fulfill, not just as simple as 'interests that are similiar'. Let me give you an example:

Mr. A would like to start a restaurant business.
In friendster, Mr. A has 'restaurant management, cooking, eating' in his 'interests' section.

What if you could gather people on Quests like games such as World of Warcraft?
In such a system, Mr. A has "Open a restaurant, preferably Sichuanese cuisine". It's a more static and fixed thing, but note this; you've created a new object in the search title overall.

How do you start this ball rolling?
Simple; by starting in your little circle of friends. We all have certain goals and this will be the first step in this plan...
From what people would like to do; Baking a cake, Eating a cake...
Then grander things; Opening a Restaurant, Starting a new website...

Stay tune on Website Fantasia Epsiode 2 :)
