Social search - an innovation waiting to happen

More and more people are saying that search is broken, and social search - i.e. employing the wisdom of the crowds to generate search results is an obvious way to try and fix it. Behind this link there is a CNN video of the Wikipedia guys talking about how many people share the opinion that search needs fixing and then offering some thoughts into a potential solution. It’s a good video and if you are into this topic it is well worth the 4mins to watch it.
There is nothing new about this idea though - it is at least as old as del.icio.us. Which makes me wonder why we haven’t seen more progress in this area.
For some reason Yahoo! seem to have neglected the opportunity since they acquired del.icio.us, and there hasn’t been much from Google either.
Am I missing something ?
