Jerome - I really like the article and a lot of the ideas that you put down. I would wonder if you wanted to extend the article to cover more than just the time dimension as is relates to "relevance" Specifically significant changes in natural language processing and semantic analysis of large bodies of content/information - which - if correctly implemented - would allow for much greater accuracy in determining relevance in search results. In some cases time is the most relevant factor - but often times not. Another is that we are still in the early stages of designing interactions that really aid in the creation of rich experiences re: findability, information foraging etc (see Ambiant Findability: Morville, Patricia Bates, Perolli, etc - regarding various ideas about information seeking behavior) - particularly as it relates to designing interfaces. Oft times - we have powerful algorythms and relevancy engines - but on the front end users are stuck with the old "advanced search - aka let's all learn boolean logical operators - which we all know is a complete, dismal failure - most (insert very large %), or users have no idea the difference between And, Or, and XOR - and if we could find a great way to represent those in a UI - we would rock and deserve many rewards in heaven.
