Would be nice to have your review on pull / push aspects of search, with a view to understanding exactly at what point “agent technologies” are going to play a significant role within IR fields.

Thinking about the papers presented @ W3c 2004 conference, specifically surrounding the sematic web (Stanford, IBM et al) the convergence of agents, information extraction, information retrieval – would make a really useful article.

Ok, mabye its a bit too tommorrow for your current bag, but your probably going to cover it off sometime soon no doubt.

BTW….”stop writing this blog,” I’d pay you to keep it going :)
