SigEx Telecom : Go Wikia!by Ana Maria Ciobanu

Something very interesting will happen in a few months. I'm sure you've used Wikipedia, but have you ever contributed with information to help it become even greater? "When I opened Wikipedia with only three articles in it, it was a pretty bad encyclopedia," Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia said. Now Wikipedia is a vast source of information thanks to volunteers from around the globe. Wikia Inc. is now developing an important project: developing an open-source search engine. The project got a boost recently thanks to the acquisition of the Grub distributed Web crawler. Wikipedia's founder and Wikia co-founder said the search engine won't be great in the begining, but Wikipedia wasn't either and look at it now. Wikia will provide in a short time a better web search experience, totally different from Google, Yahoo or Microsoft. It is not very clear yet if Wikia will provide general Web search or it will have special engines for news, images and videos as well. As expected many organizations are very interested in the project and are confident that Wikia Search can compete with Google. I am also confident and can't wait to leave Google for good and use and help Wikia. It's a great concept, a different company from Google with other business philosophies. Some voices say this will be a good thing for Google because it will serve them well to have different players around and still be the ad broker for everyone. Nevertheless I just can't wait to get up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee, open my computer, open a web page and see another logo, different from Google's.
