That really pulls on my suspenders when a company starts to monopolize the market and take ideas from weaker companies. I can’t believe that Google installed a feature with the name Wiki actually in it. And the internet police were okay with this blatant piracy?

What are any of these search engines promising except to maybe, someday, if lots of other stuff happens, having “better, but in a different way” results?

I’m not a fan of many of Google’s business practices, but I’ve never used any other search engine since they’ve launched. Why? Because it f’ing works.

What are any of these search engines promising except to maybe, someday, if lots of other stuff happens, having “better, but in a different way” results?

This one in particular was a disaster from the start. Why do the rather weird people who make up Wikipedia’s inner core (seriously, look at a convention group shot sometime) volunteer hundreds of hours for no money? Because they’re playing the world’s largest MMPORG, even bigger than Warcraft, and they’re getting social rewards constantly.

All of the thinly veiled spammers here pimping their projects — good luck! Because no one will copy that model and make money off it. Jimbo has to find alternative methods to make money off of it himself. The model doesn’t work except to maintain the Internet’s largest cornucopia of slang terms for “breasts”.

Strange. I said from Day One that Wikia Search would not work, because its leader isn’t reliable and transparent.

In fact, my letter to the editor of Fast Company appeared in the second issue after the “Google Killer” claptrap cover story.

I got called a “troll”, for being right. Once again.

Maybe people will start listening to me now?

Yahoo’s searchmonkey feature that enhances wikipedia/flickr/fb results is better alternative. Wait for yhoo q1 results, though relevancy is is far worse with yahoo.
