This post is interesting from the perspective that its starting to talk about technologies that will be superior to search in connecting people with solutions to their needs. We already know that product/service recommendations for trusted sources lead to higher conversion rates than search, so it plays on that reality.

Not sure I’m buying it though, or see a clear enough distinction. Worth a read though!

Dwarf search? On behalf of all the little people in search, I beg to differ. Search is lean-forward, loaded with intention. Recommender "industry?" Dr. Rick Hangartner, Chief Scientist, former Cray supercomputing guru may find a way to match the needs of people. But their desires? Doubtful.
