A google search can be considered as a location service. Search for a specific string can be considered as looking for that bit of information in every place where that is available. This concept can yeild a set of standardization in for information seek.
For example: People can add catagory names to each of their blogs and that information bit can be accessed using the search location service.
Simlarly, each reader can keep his 'readers pick list'. This can again be accessed seeking 'readers pick list' information bit. The site which provide this for a user can be thought of providing information socket.
There is scope may such understanding between various communities around the world. RSS canbe an rigid form of it. But there can be more loose forms like that standardized by RFC kind of mechanism.
