Could Stumbleupon’s human-filtered search results be the beginning of the next evolution of search engines that could see the all-powerful Google algorithim be made redundant?

I think Nowsourcing is on to something here.

Another one to watch in this space is Jimmy Wale's Wikia
Its still in its infancy and quality is not good (Yet), but its got all the right tools to make it to search engines what wikipedia is to other online encyclopedias.

Call me a cynic, but I just don't see the value or interest in Stubleupon. The idea of human involvement in search engine results is appealing, but I'm not a fan of Stumbleupon's delivery.
Isn't Mahalo in this space too?

@khilley - isn't mahalo a closed group of people deciding what they think people might like as opposed to stumbleupon being average real people voting on what they really like? i don't think it's the same.

@kimber - the newer Mahalo Follow and Mahalo Social seem like they're crossing into the stumbleupon space to me. i could be wrong though.

Check out http://www.stumpedia.com. It’s truly a human-powered search engine and relies on human-indexing from start to finish. There are no automated bots or crawlers indexing pages.
