Knol is Google’s foray into knowledge aggregation. Knol lets users produce web pages devoted to various subject matter. Udi Manber VP-engineering explained on the Google blog: “There are millions of people who possess useful knowledge that they would love to share and there are billions of people who can benefit from it. ” Google will not the company said act as an editor… The folks at Technorati seem to have been struggling lately. Yet two years ago we got to read similar positive sounding statements from then CE David Sifry on how Google Blog Search has validated his model and made it easier for partners to know what Technorati was doing. ” Wikipedia to be sure is a juggernaut. According to a Hitwise blog post on of Knol Wikipedia was during the week of Sec. 8 “the #2 downstream website from Google (after Google Images) receiving 2. 13% of the search giant’s traffic. ” Probably not an ‘info-moshpit’ That’s a lot to contend with.

There are the correspondents who assume he wrote Wikipedia himself and is therefore an expert on everything¡ªlike the guy who found vials of mercury in his late grandfather¡¯s attic and wanted Wales a former options trader to tell him what to do with them. But the e-mails that make him laugh out loud come from concerned newcomers who have just discovered they have total freedom to edit just about any Wikipedia entry at the click of a button. h my God they write you¡¯ve got a major security flaw! As the old techie saying goes it¡¯s not a bug it¡¯s a feature. Wikipedia is a free open-source encyclopedia which basically means that anyone can log on and add to or edit it… But the e-mails that make him laugh out loud come from concerned newcomers who have just discovered they have total freedom to edit just about any Wikipedia entry at the click of a button. h my God they write you¡¯ve got a major security flaw!

Wikia Search To Be Unveiled In January 2008
eBrandz – Dec 27, 2007
“The public launch would allow general public to use the system and give their feedback about their experience. ” The Wikia Search project has assembled the basic technologies for a search engine including a search application search algorithm and Web crawler but will roll to full usability only once users have vetted and qualified results not just with humans’ ratings such as employed by digg but through open-source implementations of indexing algorithms and other tools using a community model akin to that of Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales the founder of Wikipedia is the man behind the conception of WikiaSearch. He hopes to bring in the era of open source search engines and results which can be edited by humans. This new move also comes in the wake of all the success that Wikipedia has experienced. Through the Wikia Search they want to cash in on the human intelligence and achieve what the algorithms of the existing search engines cannot. Wales said that this would enable users to see how the search results are arrived at… Jimmy Wales the founder of Wikipedia is the man behind the conception of WikiaSearch.

Wales said that this would enable users to see how the search results are arrived at. However the search tool will take time to evolve and the initial service would not match the capabilities of the leading search engines. Contributors will have to develop the search platform over time; in a similar way that Wikipedia took time to get enough entries to be useful.
How to copyright Michelangelo
Register – Dec 27, 2007
ne of my favorite images from the Sistine Chapel ceiling is known as the “Delphic Sibyl. ” The Sibyl is supposed to be a woman but Michelangelo prefered young boys as models so we get a charming figure with an androgynous face and manly arms jutting out from under her blouse and cape. An image of the restored Sibyl is available. This applies to the United States Canada the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years… or in another country where a similar rule applies. But the disclaimer avoids mentioning UK law; a footnote links to a clarification that accessing this image in the UK could be an infringing action. The Wikipedia image left is unattributed leaving the international legal status unclear. The British Museums Copyright Group.
How to sell when people do not know what they want
Hindu – Dec 27, 2007
KalidasChennai: ne of the many ‘elephant jokes’ in Wikipedia reads: “Q: How do you shoot a blue elephant? A: With a blue elephant gun. ” Crude because it is always a better idea to shoot with a camera rather than a gun! Next question “How do you sell blue elephants?” To this you can find an answer in ‘Selling Blue Elephants’ (www. in) by Howard Moskowitz and Alex Gofman… “How do you make consumers pick your offer out of hundreds and hundreds of look-alikes?”Try out RDE (Rule Developing Experimentation) the authors advise. The first step is to identify groups or classes of features that constitute the target product. “For example in the case of a credit card offer the variables could be APRs (annual percentage rates) rewards options and so on.
