Should I write a post about Mayday ? It half reminds me of the fairytale of the princess on the pea. Mayday is when Matt moved the pea slightly to the conservative right and all white hooded princesses made their bid for Drama Queen.

Personally I hope one day Google split social and business search, deprecate the entire web2.0 social linking and switch to real time traffic data as ranking algorithm for social search, and restore the peer reviewed web for business search with a stronger focus on local and regional delivery and consumer reviews as an alternative ranking mechanism.

Current rankings are most decided on the seo-sem effort of companies and don’t offer end user review on an efficient product list or regional index (aren’t we lucky we have Google Adwords to help our customers find our offers !). Sites like 4Square are closing in on delivering search results on local area venues
using the mobile web, which is an interesting development.

[added 3-6-10] is that just me or did I suddenly notice Google doing a Beta for Social Search yesterday ? basically based on its own profile data, and sites and linkdata from my webmaster tools account (I am not unconditionally happy about that).
