Wikia and Google

Some time ago, I posted about the Wikipedia (Wika) search concept and how it may or may not compete with Google. Well, it is out. Got a good comment on my previous post extolling the "wisdom of crowds" and how it could indeed result in a better search. I would argue that the way Google uses links to set relevance is really a "wisdom of crowds" thing too - less direct, but that might not be all that bad. Still - point well taken.

The different thing here, is each day (at least in theory) Wikia will improve. Should be fun to watch and see.
