Cosmodelia from Barcelona introduces Wikiversity to "the Interzone" http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/reportsept04.html
...and Vivisimo's "clusty.com", "powered completely by breakthrough clustering technology" [and buzzwords], "changes forever how consumers do general Web searches as well as shopping, blogs, gossip, images, Wikipedia and people searches".
Aside from having a name my friend's kid brother would have picked out of a hat for his domain-squatting business, this is really neat. They have a separate tab for searching wikipedia. What do you know, our main page looks pretty good in that blue-on-taupe color scheme.

Has a point; would be rather more convincing in an era when it was as easy to contribute from a mobile phone as now is from a personal computer with a boardband connection and keyboard. Which we may see.
