I think web page classification is a good first goal for AGI. Though there
may be competition from other newer search engines such as PowerSet.
For the 3D avatar, it seems very difficult to commercialize (but I may be
ignorant of areas like gaming or Second Life).
Web Page Classification is more of a narrow AI focus and can be accomplished
well using statistical language techniques known, and can be improved upon, but
doenst really need an AGI level
A 3D agent would be hard to commercilize, though Second Life would have
possibilities, and something like working with the World of Warcraft gamers..
though the business hurdles there would be frustrating.
The 3D agent would give a much wider range of playing with true AGi though.
