esmevane, sorry@adactio In support of what you're suggesting in here: wasn't PageRank also, at first, more or less just saying "Human directories and links are the most valuable signal for search"? Like, ranking pages based on links to one another?
Obviously it didn't really scale in an automated fashion but that's the fault of automation, I think, and not the premise.
