I am against intrigante, make-possessed companies, i am against Google. But i know there are no alternatives at the moment out there. Yahoo! at least is exactly the same, this Livesearch is an arm of the bad one and Lycos is already for a long time dead. Thus I sit day by day on my PC and throw, to the company with the merry multicolored letters, my secret data in their throats. Perhaps until now, because there is a light tail on the horizon.
Wikia search goes soon officially to the start and is now in an early alpha version to be examined. And I must say: I am inspired, amazed and totally digged in!
The search is fast, friendly arranged and very clear. The Wikipedia-searchengine will be open in addition, i.e.: The search algorithms will not being held secretly, like that a part of the process with other large searchengines today. Openness! I look forward to the day, on which nobody knows more, what the word "googeln" at all meant.
Matt also thinks that this search is pretty darn cool. And so i registered there, my name is 0703 for all who want add me. What i like is the social networking, especially the trust level thing. I hope this open source project can make its way and beat google on day.
