'Wiki' What?

So, the new word is out in the market. Wikiasari - yet another competitor for Google & other web search giants but with some difference from the makers of Wikipedia.

The difference is, there will be Human Intervention in the algorithm based searches. Humans can sure help in making better decisions rather than completely depending on machines, just like the logic Will Smith gives in 'I, Robot'! But... What we are looking at, is a stupendous job of finding the relevance from millions of pages. So, can human really make a difference in such areas?

Meanwhile, on a side note is - The funders are Amazon.com. Why? What happened to A9.com? Anyways, let's wait 'n watch what Jimmy Wales is upto.
