So ..... you're saying adsense will morph into something actually useful (for the surfer).

Myself, I'm a little surprised that Tofflerian change is still about (though I shouldn't be). Sites like Clusty, and very lately BlogPulse.

Elmo: It's just the Google AdSense strips on the side that are affected. The search rankings themselves shouldn't be.

Don't know that owning the destination, and the pipeline, the best thing? [eBay/Paypal. Google/ISP/network]. Not that I'm a whiner .... eBay's service has been atrocious the last few years. Almost criminal. And I don't much care for spec'd/peeled hits sitting atop Goggle search listings (though in practice not a big thing). Free wifi .... would that make me Google's ho? (not that I live up northern Cali way)

And the sweet thing is that people still seem to be just as vulnerable to bullsh*t, even with the internet. Maybe moreso. So those whose jobs are based on lies, fraud and BS will reap the benefits of a more efficient economy, while still keeping their jobs.
