Hi,
I like the idea of wikiseek, to index only wikipedia content and the urls edited in
wikipedia as weblinks.
This was as well the concept develped here on the net.
So it is a "w+1" hop" concept.
Contra: The problem is,
- that the database is still not open (where to download?)
- the search box of wikipedia already is doing the function
- it is a advertising spin-off of wikipedia ?, which is introducing advertising through
the backdoor into wikipedia.
- Is this a Jimmy engine ? or just hosted at wikipedia?
- quote:, "of course i am sad that it is a company rather than an open source
project" - so the spin-of is taking a distance to the open source approace of the
coding and the open source approach of the database,
- searching wikiseek will found wikipedia? this is not the way to go, as we can found
wikipedia directly, all other is oeconomic corruption of an encyclopaedie? -

- Searchme was co-founded by Randy Adams, CEO, and John Holland, CMO. The Company received
initial funding from Sequoia Capital, so nothing related to the goals of Jimmy?
- not a java engine
- this project is disturbing the community, as no one knows the network and relationships
for the collaboration from whom to whom.
- wiki goes oeconomic?
- if it is not open source, why then not using google.
- wikiseek is violating the GPL licence of wikipedia, as users give the urls reviewed by
hand to wikipedia as well in licence of GPL. Any Bibliographic index has a copyright, and
this is GPL for the external lists of weburls to each article, as the url is not just an
url, but a content reference of the article. As the database of wikiseek is using and
summarizing them, and it is not a GPL database of wikisek, this is a licence conflict.
Well, the draft of this search engine proposal is good, but not workable on the market, as
any wikipedia has a search box for the works and as well you get the external links in the
acticle after you have read it.
any comments? ;-)

Wikiseek is a new way to search Wikipedia. Wikiseek searches only Wikipedia and external
Wikipedia links. Because these links are selected by the Wikipedia community, Wikiseek
search results are likely to return more relevant results for many searches.
This Wikiseek Community Wiki is hosted by Wikia but Wikiseek is an independent project
with no affiliation with Wikia or Wikipedia.
