I think we will see the next level of 'finding stuff' on the internet from the social bookmarking sites.

Don't know about that one, at least not in current form, people arriving via those seem to be mostly killing time not searching for information. As much is apparent by how seldom they return, a blog/site that get's picked up that way has a huge spike in visitors for one post/article only and then returns to similar level. It's such a mixed blessing that there are guidelines on how to survive a dig on the server/bandwidth side.

But perhaps a system that calculates visitors into the algo in stead of backlinks and how long they stay, instead of backlinking PR? Maybe Apache should be moving into search.
