Ulitzer vs Knol – Google Wants Its wn Wikipedia |
sys-con.com – Dec 21, 2007
Contributors who are supposed to sign their pieces not be anonymous like Wikipedia – a good thing – will be able to monetize their individually written Creative Commons-licensed articles with ads sharing the revenues with Google. Google will provide the tools and rank entries. Fact checking will supposedly be left to the readers – (who will go to the library and look things up in a book?). CI CT & Developer Resources.

Re: Know-It-All Wikipedia Knew Little of C’s Dark Past
E-Commerce Times – Dec 21, 2007
How many employees do you think they actually have? Hundreds? To be a bit crude about it they’ve been stumbling along ever since the project changed from "Jimmy Wales’ good idea" into a registered non-profit. Take a look at other non-profits who also have less than 20 staff ask them if they have employee vetting procedures and don’t forget to ask how long they ran without them. I dunno what about Mozilla? EFF?I have been told and have every reason to believe that it is a total piece of fiction that the Wikimedia Foundation implemented background checks as a consequence of the story published some time ago in The Register. The new ED Sue was previously in charge of CBC.

SIS – Search Insiders Speak
WebProNews – Dec 21, 2007
David: Looking at MySpace with twice the traffic of Ask; YouTube search rivals some search properties’ traffic. With Hakia—I can’t figure out how to use it (and he’s spent a fair amount of time with new search engines). Powerset & Powerlabs—they do their own search of Wikipedia—I could barely tell the difference. To be better than Google at search you have to be S much better. Google could just be okay with search for a while and people will still keep using it. Bob: I predict that anything that gets labeled a Google killer or an iPod killer won’t kill anything. In video Google search doesn’t really have a cross-platform search… There are lots of other ways that they can kill their marketshare. Gord: Looking at Ask—they don’t want to be a Google killer they have some relevancy issues but they’re good for alternate search. Ideas to take advantage of Wikipedia. Aaron: It’s a different lens but they’re still value. Having a presence having your company in there as long as you’re represented. Build up your own involvement in Wikipedia have your own authority.

Blogs Beat The Times In Rankings
WebProNews – Dec 21, 2007
Since Winer won the World Wide Web Consortium should see a check from Nisenholtz arrive. Though Winer won this head to head matchup neither blogs nor the Times came out ahead of other major media outlets in searches on Google. Also another non-media site trumped bloggers and Times reporters said Cadenhead:Wikipedia which was only one year old in 2002 ranks higher today on four of the five news stories: 12th for Chinese exports fifth for oil prices first for the Iraq war fourth for the mortgage crisis and first for the Virginia Tech killings. "ur most trusted source on the biggest news stories of 2007 is a horde of nameless faceless amateurs who are not required to prove expertise in the subjects they cover" Cadenhead wrote. Despite that people are linking to Wikipedia in numbers sufficient to help it climb the search rankings. If people see Wikipedia as being that authoritative maybe Wikipedia should have earned the proceeds of that bet… Also another non-media site trumped bloggers and Times reporters said Cadenhead:Wikipedia which was only one year old in 2002 ranks higher today on four of the five news stories: 12th for Chinese exports fifth for oil prices first for the Iraq war fourth for the mortgage crisis and first for the Virginia Tech killings.
