Wikiasari
It's interesting to see all the blogging going on about the reported new search engine called Wikiasari that is a collaboration between Amazon and Jimmy Wales (founder of Wikipedia).
However, if you go to http://www.wikiasari.com there is a message posted today by Wales that clearly states the role of Amazon.
Based on most reports it seems that Mr Wales believes we can have a better search engine if we rely on each other to make judgements on the value of pages instead of using algorithms generated by computers. This should be an interesting topic to monitor over the next few months as the first quarter of 2007 is being reported as a potential launch date.

Reporters and bloggers note: Amazon has nothing to do with this project. They are a valued investor in Wikia, but people are really speculating beyond the facts. This has nothing to do with A9, Amazon, etc. Help me out, spread the word. I am looking for a community of people to continue the development of wikiasari and so on. Discuss here. Join the mailing list. ----Jimbo Wales 23:24, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Another key fact is that the domain name Wikiasari was registered in November of 2004, so this is not just something that has happened overnight.
