Another Google Killer Dies
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
When Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales launched his search service Wikia Search in late 2006, he was hoping to “fix Internet search by working to free the judgment of information from invisible rules inside an algorithmic black box.” Meaning he was hoping to do a number on Google.

Strange. I said from Day One that Wikia Search would not work, because its leader isn't reliable and transparent.
In fact, my letter to the editor of Fast Company appeared in the second issue after the "Google Killer" claptrap cover story.
I got called a "troll", for being right. Once again.
Maybe people will start listening to me now?
