[Web4lib] Next new thing?

[Ross Singer]

I wasn't going to weigh in on this, since predictions on the "big
new thing" are usually so inaccurate (especially by me), but I
think there is a large trend now towards personalization,
localization and contextualization.  my.yahoo.com is taking this
approach, A9 (as was discussed in another thread) allows you to
add search result "contexts", google.com/ig, etc.

I would also have lump Firefox's Greasemonkey extension in here as
it allows you to view the web as you want to.

We seems to be moving towards a "live globally, think locally" model.
