Not sure how to title this. It is 2015 and we have so much information/data available over a variety of resources. Online is just a small part of it.
Google is great at its core. Search for the most relevant online information that is available. These could be existing websites, articles, blogs and some of their own stuff like "what is the time" etc.
But a lot of times, searching for something like "How can I register a company in USA as a foreigner" will at best give a few blog posts or law/accounting firms etc. Then the user still needs to filter through all that noise to see if there is anything that actually helps them.
What if we could create a crowdsourced (i really cannot come up with a better word) network of information related to anything including healthcare, law, business etc and give it a bit more structure ? So think of it as Google + Custom User contributed data but a much smarter resource than wikipedia.
Using the same example above of "how to start a company in US as a foreigner", what if we could invite people who have already done that and get them to write a wiki/structured doc ? Then when someone is searching, this information is presented to them in a very smart way.
The system should guess/know what I am trying to find instead of saying "here are some resources we think could help you". Can we do this ?
