It’s a work in progress, but hasn’t progressed to the point that
a) ads would be useful
b) it has the cash to spend on ads (it may provide some or a lot of value, but in small domains, for a few people)
5.
The idea that some people are more visual (the eye), others more linguistic (the ear) etc. are, if not accurate in detail, then in the abstract—a variety of preferences requires a tool to do a lot of things.

a) Knowledge Representation requires knowledge to be in a specific form, or captured. After data gathering takes off, so will KR.
b) Or it’s a chicken and egg problem—knowledge isn’t useful unless it’s “managed well” in order to make large quantities of information useful.
c) Knowledge is a misnomer here—it’s information, not knowledge, and knowledge is what is important.
d) a variation of b—the perfect tool here needs a lot of other functionalities integrated (thinking/information tools have a lot of benefits together—representation, memorization, etc.)
