information exchange

Idea: (Copylefted by Scott Garrett Daniel, Inc.)

With the advent of information being a real commodity, how will it actually be exchanged? Well, if you take for example, the knowledge of how to solve a specific computer problem, that kind of information is usually esoteric and hard to generalize and apply to other problems. This is why, when I search for solutions in Microsoft Knowledge Base, it often takes extra experience-learned tricks to implement said solution. Now, if there was an artificial intelligence that recorded every one of my solutions to computer problems, that might be valuable information. But only if said AI could also find some way to generalize the solutions and find potential "buyers" of those solutions. Any input on this would be awesome.
