Am I crazy or is there room for a good early 2000s-style link aggregator in today's content discovery landscape? It seems like the primary reasons the likes of delicious failed is because they sold out for money. I wonder if an open source federated solution could work.

I would love an alta-vista rebirth..I have yet to see a search engine that allowed you do target searches so specifically. I also loved the 'near' keyword for dealing names - "john near smith" would match "john smith", "smith john", "smith, john" etc.

Search engines have been 'simplified' to the point they're useless if you actually want to _search_ and not 'discover' :-p
