Wikipedia Founder wants to rival Google

James Wales, the Wikipedia Founder plans to rival Google by creating a new search engine called Wikiasari (a combination of wiki, the Hawaiian word for quick, and asari, which is Japanese for rummaging search) which is still based on community just like wikipedia site.

He said that although Google is very good at many types of search, but in many instances it produces nothing but spam and useless crap. Try searching for the term ‘Tampa hotels’, for example, and you will not get any useful results. And i find it interesting on how he’s going to create a really accurate result, especially if it's going to be a community site just like Digg, because like most of you already knew that even Digg is not that accurate

And as a side note, Amazon has nothing to do with this project unlike other stories that says Amazon is behind the Wikiasari project. Although they are a valued investor in Wikia, but people are really speculating beyond the facts. This has nothing to do with A9, Amazon, etc .. just as he said on the wikia site

Well .. i guess i’ll be looking forward to its launch .. to see how well this new search engine performing ;-)
