part of the "flaw" of the internet is that it is not conscious. though it has all the information that is currently available to be had, it is oblivious to your attempts to get what you want.
what was that one movie, with that one dude, who has that funny accent.... google? Google doesn't know.
imagine if there were just a global or at least national message board that exists soley for the purpose of asking for bits of info.
internet has no fucking clue what you mean, but the people on the internet do.
Amnesiac message boards
you have a question, but you can't phrase the question into bits that googling will give you.
So you go and you say "There was a movie with ............."
and people go "oh yeah"
or things like that.
Or "I saw someone.... and.........."

Did you actually find out the name of the movie you were looking for by asking someone those quoted questions....? (What was the name of the movie...?)

no that's just speculation.
i couldn't recall some bit of information and it spawned this idea.

i know exactly what you mean, often when i want the answer to a specific quetion, i have to instead search for related terms and then sort through tons of info, sometimes without even being able to find the answer. however, what i often do is simply post my question on a message board which i know gets a lot of traffic in the hopes someone there will know the answer. and often (depending on the question of course) i will get the correct resonse within minutes. im afraid that if there was a board specifically designed for that purpose, it would be hard to get a large enough userbase for it to be that useful. afterall, would answering other peoples random questiions be enough to attract people to surf the board? none the less, its a good idea and i think that maybe you should pursue it.
