When the day comes when all information is stored over a network, and computers, mobile-phones, “Ipod´s”, and TV’s don’t come with a local harddrive, companies like FAST will be in control of all information access in people’s life. The search industry today is just in the beginning, and the size and complexity of information stored will grow until infinity. In one year, 2000 people visit FF08. John Lervik is right.

It is a very different game inside the firewall so the match is far from over. Google is not optimized for looking at the structured data that currently makes up a large portion of enterprise search targets. However, as Enterprise 2.0 type applications become more broadly adopted within organizations Google's use of the social side of content will be more effective. But then there will still be all the structured data sitting out there. I agree with your assessment. It is a very different game inside the firewall so the match is far from over.
