Wikiasari


Take the large number of people who work on Wikipedia and have them evaluate web pages, and what do you get? Wikisauri, a search engine from Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia.

The concept will be that the searches that Google et al. don’t do very well (a large number of sites that cannot be easily differentiated by a computer algorithm) will be evaluated by people, allowing for more accurate and relevant results.

Time will tell, as this is not the first time Wales has attempted to create a search engine.
