John Batelle, database of intentions: The aggregate results
of every search ever entered, every result list ever tendered,and every path taken as a result. It lives in many places, butthree or four places in particular hold a massive amount of thisdata (i.e. MSN, Google, and Yahoo). This informationrepresents, in aggregate form, a place holder for the intentionsof humankind - a massive database of desires, needs, wants,
and likes that can be discovered, subpoenaed, archived,tracked, and exploited to all sorts of ends.
