Are all major search engines link-based? Is it time to introduce a new alogrithm for "search"?

I'd like to talk about international markets for search and search-related advertising including Japan and China.

I think Privacy would be very interesting topic to talk about,especially now that Google has officially released it's user's history search."Can we have some privacy ,please?"

I wonder what you and others think about why Google continues to grow market share when Yahoo, MSN, and Ask all have basically the same relevance/coverage and have basically the same UI. Are the differences bigger than I think or is it a branding thing? Or is it something completely different?

I'd like to have some discussion around the state-of-the-art for visual search. It's supposed to be the 'holy grail' it would be interesting to see how far the technology has come.

What kinds of content still need to become searchable?

Can Google escape fatal hubris? How?

Should you disclose a financial relationship with Webex, and whether John Battelle approved the user data Webex requires for chat registration?

How do you see the future for vertical search engines? Will Google eat their lunch with Google Base?

This is a bit off-topic, going back to your j-prof days, but I'd like to know more about the relationship between the print publication industry (strong-willed, old, conventional) vs. today's comp sci nerds/bloggers (risk-takers, entrepreneurial, unconventional). We've got Yahoo/MySpace, which just launched MySpace News, trying to get the younger generation to read again. Then we've got the old newspaper industry with its waning circulation, which is trying all sorts of ways to distribute its online content for increased readership. Is there a clash of personalities here? And what would be the foreseeable future for the news industry/who do you see being the key players?

I would certainly like to hear your take on the Yahoo vs. Google item. In the tech world, we seem to think of Google as the inevitable winner, but I think it could go either way.

Great idea - looking forward to the online discussion.

Yahoo vs Google. Why are the capitalizations so different for these very similar companies?

Federated media - how has that experienced shaped your view of Google Adsense? Will vertical niche advertising generally yield more than Adsense?
