Another person we got to interview at SMX Toronto 2010 was Ilya Grigorik, the CTO of PostRank. Ilya sat on the panel of a session called Social Media: Insight and Inspiration where panelists discussed how search and social media are evolving and influencing each other.
After the session, Ilya gave us a few minutes to discuss what he sees as the intersection of search and social media intersecting. Essentially, Ilya sees social media playing a major role in the personalization of search results. To that extent, he also sees search and social media merging into a single medium. As a result, he expect (1) links to become less important for rankings, and (2) a user’s own personal network having more of an influence in the results that search engines show them

Interesting thoughts. Social media sounds like “The Internet” not just standard websites. With things like social searching online, we will certainly see that “more becomes more.”
