I stopped sending out emails a few years ago because of the problems with

Can a time saving, efficiency tool 
such as a search engine be defined?


Originally a search directory or product list was a business tool, a retrieval system to help find information more efficiently. Industrial search directories reduced the time required to find information and the amount of information which must be tossed around, consulted, briefed or advised.   A directory helped to manage information overload and secure resources for when when they were needed to find tools materials, or supplies. 

A directory was a necessary collection; and organized list of available  tools, materials, and products for almost every need.   That's important because businesses always need to do research and development.  They always need a different sample, or new type of steel or product for a new formula or for trying new things.   Producers need advice without always having to ask everyone or possibly get involved in issues beyond simply just a narrow need for a special product. That's the key, the toughest part.  Knowing you can find things quickly.  Now we have major search engines seeking out, containing, indexing, filing and aggregating billions of sources, and many are in considerable detail. 

The big  "G"  search engine may have felt long ago that businesses needed an almost unrestricted, no boundaries  amount of information and instant availability to allow for business efficiency, reduce wasted time, and promote economic development and change.  Other large search directories may have then thought: "What's to hide."   Progress can only improve by providing an unlimited resource to people who want to develop, try new materials, try new products, find them quickly, and advance to new levels by providing newer, different products.  

If you need gauze around sharp tools
or instruments, then read a mistake-
proofing story....
Jigs and Gauges for Beginners.

Profit pays the bills...  A surplus is "lots more."  A NON-working machine is "lots less."

Woodworking; making things in volume and then transforming into getting things bought and sold is what pays the bills throughout the land.  It leads to advanced work with tools and machines. 
In another woodworking story here there is a mention of  how Economists (and many others too) consider a machine as working capital. When it is not producing a surplus, or generating products, then it is non-working capital.  

How do Search Engines and Directories help?

Some search engines and tool directories with "good intentions"  have become know to be the "Pot Luck" approach to finding things without special skills.   The end is to find certain,  "included advice" which is helpful to save time and to advance along towards a certain goal.  Search engines then are some of the best tools for an economy.   Again, progress can be the result of providing an unlimited resource to people who want to develop, try new materials, try new products, find them quickly, and advance to new levels by providing newer, different products.  

When an enthusiast or project manager does  a search, they know that they might find tools, hardwoods, or materials.  What they need, and want is often the toughest part; to pin point a location.  Most of them probably subscribe to an old fashioned manufacturers directory.  In the case of hobbyists and crafters, they are often still in a trial stage.  To the hobbyist, machines are often a pastimes, a hobby, or other purpose, and volume is not yet their style.  

Although, things provided by this website have helped many discover an obscure principle or technique to turn their table saw into something more.  They begin with an advanced, efficient technique for making box joints.  Learning to make box joints properly is like a gateway towards understanding precision and then the ultimate goal, producing a surplus.  A surplus is "lots more."  A non-working machine is "lots less."

Making things in volume and duplication is what creates markets; always has.  And, it's when the economist really begins to take a peek at the producer, their discovery, the sales and the supplies and purchases.   The economist says; "They found a niche, an idea, and a  method to manufacture...they will buy more machines." They are in touch with an advanced, but historical, age-old principle; making a surplus to trade and prosper.  It is the hobbyist in motion, one discovering and advancing that keeps the industry, beginning with the craft and hobby media afloat.  Yet, in order to be careful, to stay conservative,  all of the edits result in published stories that are cautious about recommending a business bend to their readers craft or hobby.  In other words, the traditional world media realizes that turning many hobbies, or woodworking into a business is expensive, especially if you have to buy your own hardwoods.   

The traditional means of publishing is not necessarily out of touch.  We all do notice that they are careful and  contained about some things.  They rarely mention the "Biz" word, because most people may need to try very hard keeping and enjoying their current job.  That's reasonable, we need to preserve jobs, but then again, people also need to know more details about machines and automation in order to increase an interest in machines.  There is not always an agreement about how to present the concept; to draw more into the concepts,  about the capability and  potential that machines can be expected to do.
