Why are we hiding?

Searching for instant information and instant learning is a key part of my daily activities, and likewise for many many people. So why do we (the learning industry) keep hiding our learning content in over-protected silo's like Learning Management Systems, portals or flash movies that are cannot be crawled by popular search engines? We really expect people to log on to the learning portal and search for a course when you can have better results using a search engine? Besides, today's search engines do a much better job at finding what you need than the embedded searches in those learning platforms.

In my humble opinion, any web-based learning that cannot be found by standard web-based searching is planning to make itself obsolete.

DECISION: all content on about2findout.com must be searchable by web crawlers one way or the other.
