Wackypedia wants to take down Google
WIKIPEDIA FOUNDER, Jimmy Wales claims that his Wikia Search project will have Google quaking in its boots.
Speaking to the Global Brand Forum in Singapore, Wales thinks his qwack team of high-ranking fake penis experts will bring tears to Google's eyes.
He said that Google, Yahoo and Microsoft dominate the Internet search engine market which Wales claims was caused some worry among web users.
He said that people didn’t want all of their traffic, and editorial control through one, two or three companies. They should be looking only at Wikipedia instead.
Wales said Wikia Search will run on an open platform, similar to the principles behind Wikipedia.
In other words, all results will be decided by sad losers, with chips on their shoulders, who can decide if sites are real and notable enough to have a right to be there.
On Wales' search engine we can bet you that the Everywhere Girl, Mike Mageek, and the INQUIRER will disappear overnight and Nick Farrell will become a Canadian boxer. µ

If its anything like the search function on mediawiki

Google have nothing to worry about

: )
The last thing we need is a search engine made by a bunch of clowns who delete information simply because they don't like it. Kind of runs counter to a "search engine" if all it returns is someone else's preferred content.
does this mean we are going back to the good old days when every site on the Internet was listed in Yahoo!'s directory? 

Just think how great it will be for the petabyte of information on the Internet will be sorted nicely into categories and sub categories and sub-sub-sub-sub-sub categories by millions of dedicated editors all over the world.

It will be so much faster than keyword and algorithm searches.
Wikia Search's method of manually editing URL into a bookmark system has been done so many times in the past that it should be obvious that it doesn't work.

In the end, only popular subjects attract attention and others just get ignored or are so out of date they're useless.

No prizes for guessing what the most popular subject matter will be....

Let's make it coloured like a 'red light'. Hey just like the InQ is!
;-)

Several thoughts occur to me:

Great! Just what we need: an unaccountable anonymous (w)hoard showing you only what they want you to see.

Where will the Wikia results editors find their preferred results once they take down Google? Cuil? Wonkypedia search? Riiiiiiight.

Government Health Warning: This article was written without mentioning the fact that Google manually edits its search results.
why would I use "wikipedia" to "google" something?
And what a monumental waste of time ! I eagerly look forward to the day this humongous project actually starts gobbling up the over-abundance of time that the wackypedians seem to have.
After all, with the extremely dynamic nature of the Web, what with new sites popping up by the thousands every day, manually checking and categorizing them will be a task of Sisyphian proportions.
Hopefully that will occupy them enough to keep them from deleting actual facts and content that they don't like anymore from the wackypedia.
I was very happy that I found the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy (http://www.Search-and-destroy.com) to help me rid my PC from the bugs that threaten its overall performance. I’m sure that you already know that when you search the wide world of cyberspace you pick up spyware and viruses that can make your computer run slow and sluggish. Over time, it will completely stop working if you don’t find a good scan to prevent this from happening and the Search-and-destroy Antispyware is one of the best I’ve found so far. I love it and I’m sure you will too.
