Jimmy Wales continues to press ahead with his search engine plan. According to this article in Yahoo, "Wales said collaborative search technology could transform the power structure of the Internet".
His plan is to implement a collaborative search model working within Wikia, Inc. which, unlike Wikpiedia, is a commercial company. According to the Yahoo! article, the company is aiming to capture up to 5% of the overall search market. Wikia has received $4M in investments from angels, as well as a "very large investment" from Amazon.
This is all fine. The troubles I have with this plan are two fold:
- Building a search engine that handles a lot of search traffic takes mega bucks, not $4M
- User reviewed search engine results sounds cool, but is likely to run into the same problems that Wikipedia itself does. The most popular pages will get a lot of scrutiny, but everything around the edges will be subject to abuse.
What I like about it, however, is that the most popular pages will get a lot of scrutiny. In link based algorithms, very competitive terms still frequently show sites with relatively little added value competing for revenue dollars. A human review process will make that a lot more difficult.
Still, all in all, I think that setting up a good process for the collaborative definition of search engine results will be very, very challenging. I also think that the best search engine results would come from a combination of linking algorithms, measuring human interaction with the web pages of each site, and manual human editing by a person who is receiving a salary from the search engine (so their motives are crystal clear).

Meanwhile on the island of Besaid, Yuna was finally reunited
with her long, lost friend Tidus after she have save Spira from the
massive machina, Vegnagun, with the help of her friends, Rikku and
Paine. After their brief reunion, they walked back to the village
Tidus: Man, it feels so good to be back, you know?
Yuna:*holding his hand* I'm just glad you're back, we've missed you. I miss you.
Wakka came up from behind and grab him from the neck.
Wakka: Now that you're back, we can start practicing for the blitzball tournament, ya.
Lulu laughed a little while she was holding their son, Vidina.
Rikku: Hey, did you ever get back to your Zanarkand even though it's just a dream?
Paine looked over to Rikku confused.
Paine: What do you mean by 'it's just a dream'?
Tidus:*turn over to Paine and Rikku* It's a long story. C'mon, I haven't ate anything for two years now. I'm starving!
Everyone started laughing and continued walking back to the village. As son as they left the beach the whole island started to shake.
Tidus:*holding on to Yuna*What's happening?!
Rikku:*points to the sky* Look! Something's coming out of the sky!
They all look up and saw a strange-looking airship coming out from the black vortex. Tidus looked around to make sure everyone's okay.
Tidus: Is everyone okay?
Wakka was with Lulu as they were trying to stop Vidina's crying.
Wakka: We're all fine. But what in the name of Spira was that?
Yuna: I don't know, but it looks like they're in trouble because it looks like their airship is landing right next to the Celsius. Let's go!
Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Tidus, and Wakka all ran back to the beach while Lulu and the others went back to the village to get some help. Meanwhile on the Invincible, Zidane and his friends are recovering from the impact of the black vortex.
Zidane:*rubbing the back of his head* Is everyone okay?
Vivi:*stood back up* I'm okay...
Eiko: Me and Freya are fine.
Dagger: Beatrix and I are okay, too.
Zidane lets out a sigh of relief.
Zidane: Now that's everyone is okay, let's go see where we are.
Everyone exits the airship and set afoot the shore of an island that is unknown to them.
Eiko: Um... Guys, where are we?
Zidane:*shrugged his shoulders* I have no idea, Eiko. It looks like that vortex took us to another world.
Vivi was looking at the surroundings while Freya walk up to Zidane.
Freya: How are we going to get back home? It's not like another vortex would appear out of nowhere.
Dagger: Well that last vortex appeared out of nowhere. Maybe another one would show up.
Beatrix shook her head.
Beatrix: It's not that easy, Your Majesty. The chances of another vortex to show up would take months or even years.
Zidane: Beatrix's right. So until then, let's go see if we could find some people on this island.
Vivi:*staring at the Celsius* Hey, Zidane. This airship isn't running with mist.
Zidane: Hey, you're right. Why is that?
Eiko: Zidane! Somebody's coming!
Freya and Beatrix took out their weapons.
Freya: Are they enemies?
Beatrix: Who knows. But we can't have our guard down for a second to the we've never been before.
Dagger: Hold on. What if they're people?
Zidane:*taking out his dagger* Sorry, Dagger. By what Beatrix just said, we can't take any chances.
Vivi: Maybe Dagger is right, Zidane. I mean this place sure doesn't look dangerous.
Dagger and Eiko both nodded their heads as Zidane, Freya, and Beatrix putting away their weapons.
Zidane: You're right, this place is peaceful. Let's head for shore.
Everyone started walking out of the water and went for shore. As soon as they got there, they came across with a group of three girls and two men that were waiting for them on the beach.
Yuna: Are you guys okay? You look a little lost, need any help?
Zidane:*clears throat* Well, I'm okay now that I--
He stopped talking for a moment as he looked over to Dagger who gave him a cold stare.
Zidane: What I meant to say is that we do need some help.
Paine was observing Zidane and his friends carefully and watching their every move. She wanted to ask them something, but she kept it to herself.
Rikku: Is something the matter, Paine?
Paine: No, it's nothing.
Tidus:*looking at the Invincible* That's a very unique airship you've got there. Is it completly made out of machina?
Zidane:*looking confused* What's a 'machina'?
He looked back at Vivi and Eiko who shrugged their shoulders.
Zidane: I'm sorry. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Paine: That's because you're not from around here.
Yuna: What do you mean they're not from around here?
Dagger: It's true. We're actually came from another world.
Rikku: Another world? What's it called?
Beatrix: Will explain everything later. But right now we're a little exhausted.
Zidane and Yuna nodded their heads.
Yuna: She's right. Maybe we should save thsi for later. Let's head back to the village.
They all agreed and started walking back to the village as they already passed the waterfall.
Yuna: By the way, my name is Yuna.
Zidane shoots her a smile.
Zidane: I'm Zidane.
