The Internet already have a problem with "one of everything" where a single provider is much more popular than the other ones. Amazon, Google, Reddit, Wikipedia... The 2th cooperative encyclopedia editing website is much less popular than Wikipedia. This is not a good thing, is a bad thing since we are at the infancy of everything, there are a million things to try, learn, invent and explore. The average user visit the same 4 websites again and again every day.. not knowing the next door has something cool to offer, and really need visitors. What is the problem that people is trying to solve here? is this the correct place to solve it?, If is a usability problem in the browser, maybe the solution is more how browsers are build and how to function. Maybe browsers creators need to be more creative!. Maybe the current browser implementation and UI standards are shit. Do we need a internet-wide solution?, maybe just making the protocol "search://" redirect to a default search engine passing the term will solve the same problem ( search://tabacco => http://www.google.com/?q=tabacco ) -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje.
