There's a site in beta, TrueKnowledge.com, which is working on creating an intelligent agent capable of providing search results with some autonomy. Part of the process involves a variety of people creating a framework of specific knowledge which this agent would be able to use to try to put user requests in context and deliver the expected results.

Does there exist a collective intelligence consciousness tool or web site?
Where each individual collective (directed by many people over the web) shares a particular perspective (a current web page they are looking at), has a set of short and long term goals and may take only one action at a time (manipulating the web page or navigating to another). The group decides what to do next by using some kind of real-time action nominating and voting mechanism (perhaps with a secondary or "subconscious" layer). Something along those lines must be out there already?

gabbly lets chat about web pages and redesignme takes advantage of the community to submit designs. I can see aspects of what I was describing in those sites but only certain pieces.

I am not sure I quite understand your question. Are you looking for a crowd sourcing site like CrowdSpirit http://www.crowdspirit.com or Kluster http://www.kluster.com or CrowdSpring http://www.crowdspring.com or Cambrian House http://www.cambrianhouse.com or something else?

Not crowd sourcing. Was looking for something that worked very similarly to exactly what I described. This would be an attempt to use collective intelligence with technology (possibly the web) to emulate important (or main?) aspects of consciousness or attention. The goal would be to create an intelligent agent that is more capable than any individual participant, but that would behave to some degree as though it were a single person with superior abilities.

What you gave me were collective intelligence web sites. What I am talking about, although it is definitely along those lines, is a different specific way of taking advantage of collective intelligence. Its finer grained in that the group tunes each individual action in real time based on a shared literal perspective (a current web page or maybe the image from a camera attached to a robot or something).

If collective consciousness is that which is revealed by Digg or del.icio.us "most popular", I don't think I want it, at least not at that scale.

I agree. This concept would be less interesting if the voting resulted in the types of decisions made by the digg masses. But as far as the details of my concept I am really not talking about duplicating that type of web site. Maybe the voting part could somehow overcome that.
But I don't think the relative novelty of the concept relies upon necessarily extraordinary or virtuous decision making or behavior.

I'm actually pretty excited to try it out. Thanks!
Yeah it's not asking people to craft their own web 2.0-based neural net or some idea buried in jargon or technical complexity, it's asking them to help the community with what they know. I wonder if an artificial intelligence in training had to start somewhere, if it might start with something like this; it's like each individual is some dedicated part of the collective resources of the AI, off doing their own little part to build their localized knowledgebase.
One of its strengths in my mind is that everyone basically starts out under the same ground rules; it's not like a completely freeform discussion, it's got structure and data types and objects and it builds upon itself in a coherent, if rote, way, but at the same time it's approachable.
