Search Wikia Is Live!

From first look this is going to be huge. If there is a Google killer out there it is Wikia. Why? Transparency, community expertise, founders experience, buzz, funding. Wikia has it all.

More here from the NYTimes.

Where does it put ASSISTA? ASSISTA will create its own path, carve its own niche.

Wishing the very best to Jimmy Wales and Co.

    Interesting, looks similar to Mahalo.com in some aspects. I am not so sure about the search results algorithm. I tried a few test searches and the results were very poor.

    Apparently someone missed the memo about hyphenated domains sucking generally at about… 2 or more hyphens.

    Search does seem quite poor at the moment but it should pick up over time. Hope they do well and provide a quality search engine.

    I performed a few searches, and the results were way off the mark..

    very early to tell though..

    TechCrunch hammered it in a recent review:

    Tried it Sahar and understand it is in BETA.

    But feels really top heavy.
