I don't know why they bothered using a demo to explain their technology, clear explanations like "organize the real-time knowledge web" and "explore the knowledge web in 1-click" just speak for themselves.
To be fair, it's clear the guy's English isn't too good.
Thing is though, I just don't see the value in this kind of vague mash up. Wikipedia is great. Google is great. Trying to mash them together in some vague "knowledge web"...what problem is this solving? Seems like it would require some huge critical mass to be useful, but the concept (whatever it is) is so nebulous it will struggle to attract contributors.
This is intriguing though:
