    1996 I would say WOW
    1998 hmmm but Google is better
    2000 does this still works?
    2008 they launch that crap as a product? is it some money laundering or what?

    Rome wasn’t built in a day. Anybody slating a new search engine in the first few weeks of alpha is being too harsh. Give it a year and see how it goes. I like the way it shows my face when you search for my site, Google doesn’t do that.

    Patrick It’s not a new search engine thou… it’s Nutch.

    I understand they are still building in Rome today? ;)

    Great results -

    I quite like the people matching part too as this makes it a bit different from normal search engines.

    The results really are awful at the moment though, looks like using keywords in your domain works pretty well :)

    I like the way the page retains the earlier listed results and erm … the colour schemes nice, very web 2.0.

    Not sure about the results they seem a bit scattered.

    Nutch. :-)

    hmmm, slight problem with duplicates http://re.search.wikia.com/search#ruby%20on%20rails

    That has got to be the best use of their logo I’ve seen thus far!

    I am just looking at it now. The first few searches look pretty bad. I am signing up for account right now to see how I can use it to my advantage. :)

    Doesn’t handle the long tail to well. So far, it’s not setting the world on fire.

  16. 16. Ken Teegardin | January 7th 2008 @ 11:52 pm

    14 million dollars and the result are lame. I hope they can get it together soon.
    FYI: The press release for Wikia outranks wikipedia.org for the word wiki.

    Does anyone know how similar Nutch is to Google’s infrastructure? For all I know it could be like comparing apples to oranges but who knows..

  18. 18. Fireblade | January 8th 2008 @ 1:45 am

    When they start sending me loads of traffic it will be time to sit up and take notice…. Good luck to them.

  19. 19. Tim Wintle | January 8th 2008 @ 2:51 pm

    Adam Moro:
    Nutch uses hadoop, which is almost a direct clone of the Google file system and Map-reduce.

    Bigtable (the google database) isn’t quite completely ported yet though.

    The actual ranking algorithms are quite different, IMO, though.

    I havent seen alot of it, it’s a nice concept in a perfect world, but am I wrong in saying the results are best on user votes? If so arent SEO companys just going to be voting clients highly on multiple accounts?
    & thus the rich get richer? ^_^

  23. 23. Seto Blog | January 13th 2008 @ 4:34 pm

    I dont believe in the concept. And till now, the results are crap.
    I dont think this will be a lot better in the future.

  24. 24. Seo Blog | January 13th 2008 @ 4:36 pm

    If I look for the term SEO on a dutch browser I get Chinese results?
    Even a monkey could do better.
