I believe that the internet hubs such as "Google", "Yahoo", "Facebook"
etc. are the future (present) publishers, while encompassing global data
base they provide individually tailored content exemplar, according to
surfer's preferences and browsing history (including references of Google
Scholar 4 scientific content ...)

Hi Avi & yasminers,
I see your point. What we also see though is that in some cases publishing
strategies are still partially driven by specific editorial processes. For
example, as John Wilbanks argues in a recent post published on
http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/on_science_publishing
the distribution of scientific content is still strongly tied to traditional
processes even though it has obviously changed because of what you call
cyber-aura.
Publishers and the evaluation / editorial processes they set up and organize
are still an important component in selecting, packaging and distributing
scientific content. So, again, we see that some elements from the
traditional author/publisher relation are still alive and they still
profoundly affect the distribution of scientific knowledge.
Is this a value to save in the future? What will be the role of publishers
in the future? Will there be a new configuration where horizontal processes
(with no aura) cross vertical processes backed by some sort of authorities?
I guess this is our big question mark with FakePress!
Ciao
