2006: The Year Search Grew Up
Barry Schwartz first posted this over at SEL, but Chris Winfield of 10e20 did such a great job of listing the 101 Biggest Stories in Search for 2006, it deserves to be noted several times in the search blogosphere. It's a comprehensive list of everything from product launches, personnel moves (including those here at SEW), and the rise of Internet celebrities.
Perhaps most important to recognize is Winfield's commentary looking back on the year and how 'search' played a bigger role in society:
2006 was a year that saw the definition of search expand. Search to me has become an all-encompassing word. Search is information. Search is media. Search is social interaction. Search is life.
