I'm hoping that eventually we'll get around the idea of a crowd-sourced search engine (mostly manually curated) maintained in the manner of Wikipedia, backed by a solid user reputation system to dissuade spammers.
This will import Wikipedia's serious flaws. But I'm hopefully that they can gradually be mitigated.
