Wikia Search muere ante la indiferencia general
2009-04-01 11:57:00 Hace apenas un año y medio, el fundador de la Wikipedia abrió las puertas de Wikia Search, un buscador de código abierto que, como tantos otros proyectos surgidos en la última década, quería hacerse un hueco dentro de un sector en el que gigantes como Yahoo o Microsoft luchan como buenamente pueden por mantenerse a flote ante el envite feroz de Google. La idea era interesante, pero en el tiempo que ha transcurrido desde entonces no han conseguido que un número significativo de internautas cambiaran los motores de búsqueda que utilizaban habitualmente en favor de este nuevo nato. Por si eso fuera poco, la crisis económica global ha dado la puntilla que faltaba. Así lo ha confirmado Jimmy Wales en su blog, aseverando que en otras circunstancias habrían continuado financiando a Wikia Search durante más tiempo, pero que tal y como están las cosas los inversores han decidido dejar de gastar dinero en este proyecto y cerrarlo definitivamente. En principio, Wikia Search dejó de funcion...
Fundador de Wikipedia pretende romper a Google en pedazos
2008-08-14 15:11:00 El fundador de Wikipedia Jimmy Wales espera que Wikia Search, un proyecto que él mismo encabeza, pueda quitar a Google como el buscador más utilizado en la Internet. Dijo además, que Google, Yahoo y Microsoft han creado un monopolio en Internet con el que nadie está contento y por eso confía en el éxito de su nuevo proyecto.El directivo explicó que Wikia Search funcionará sobre una plataforma abierta, con unos principios muy similares a los de la Wikipedia. Es decir, que los resultados se decidirán entre todos y cualquiera podrá decidir si los sitios son reales y lo suficientemente importantes como para estar ahí. Con Wikia Search, los usuarios "puedan participar de manera significativa" cuando navegan por la Internet, dijo. ¡Cuidado Google!AFP

2008-01-21 16:18:00 Hoy finalmente se abrió al publico la versión Alfa de Wikia Search, el buscador potenciado por personas de Jimmy Wales.Entre sus principales características nos encontramos con la posibilidad de valorar cada resultado, discutirlo, agregar información o vincularnos personalmente a una búsqueda desde nuestro perfil.Al ingresar se observa una interfaz simple y amigable (acorde a la onda 2.0).

2008-01-11 14:46:00 Nowadays searching the web doesn't seem to be a real challenge. But still many of us face this problem after launching the site. We see that Google can't satisfy all requests and we need something new and up-to-date. According to BBC news, Jimmy Wales, founder of the Wikipedia encylopedia, is on the point of starting his new venture - Wikia Search. Billed as an open source search engine Wikia Search launched on 7 January backed by Wikia, the commercial wiki hosting company started in 2004 by Mr Wales. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's iPM programme, Jimmy Wales said Wikia Search would be, "completely controlled by the community of users. So it's going to be similar to any wiki except people will be able to participate in the creation of search results". The new service is still in an early or "alpha" stage of development, relying as it does on user participation current results are not comparable to the established services. ... Read more!

Wikia Search Doesn’t Even Come Close
2008-01-09 12:30:00 Yesterday I decided to try the new Wikia Search Engine and it was a very dissappointing experience. It has no database to speak of. Very flawed and completely irrelevant. I can’t even give it a complete review here as I was so unpleased with the website. Jimmy Wales…please go back and do what you do well and leave the search engines to the professionals.
Wikia Search, ya disponible
2008-01-09 12:00:00 Wikia Search, el motor de búsqueda en Internet creado por el fundador de la enciclopedia online Wikipedia, empezó el martes a funcionar con el objetivo de convertirse en un buscador transparente y abierto a todos los usuarios.Como ocurre en Wikipedia, Wikia Search se basa en la participación de los usuarios, que pueden controlar el sistema para organizar los resultados de las búsquedas, valorar su utilidad o crear sus propios buscadores. Wikia Search competirá con otros buscadores como, por ejemplo, Google, que utiliza complicados y secretos logaritmos para establecer en qué orden aparecen los resultados de una búsqueda.Jimmy Wales, fundador de Wikipedia y uno de los creadores del proyecto Wikia Search, dijo que espera que este portal "sea como el buen vino, ya que mejorará a medida que pase el tiempo y más y más usuarios contribuyan a él". "Las búsquedas en Internet deben ser más abiertas y transparentes. Este dÃa supone un hito en nuestra misión para lograr precisam...

2008-01-08 11:43:00 Wikia Search, el proyecto de buscador de código abierto nacido bajo la tutela de Jimbo Wales es hoy una realidad. El servicio se encuentra todavía en una versión alpha y los resultados que genera distan mucho de ser los ideales, pero eso es algo normal ya que el motor de búsqueda que emplea se fundamenta en la retroalimentación que generan los usuarios que lo utilizan. Así pues, conforme vayan pasando las semanas y más personas accedan a él para realizar sus búsquedas, los resultados irán mejorando progresivamente.Como podéis ver en la imagen superior, el diseño de la web es muy limpio, sigue los principios de Google y contiene únicamente el logo del buscador, un cuadro de búsquedas y dos enlaces en la parte superior que nos conminan a registrarnos o a hacer login en caso de que ya formemos parte de la comunidad Wikia. La página de resultados consta de 2 partes bien diferenciadas: mientras que en la mitad izquierda aparecen las webs que el sistema ha encontrado, en la derecha se mu...

Wikia Search Unveiled
2008-01-08 08:04:00 Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales has brought the Wikipedia ethos to his very own internet search engine. But he insists it will be far more trustworthy than search sites offered by Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft. Today, Jimbo’s for-profit Wikia operation takes the wraps off a beta version of Wikia Search, a search engine that allows everyone and their brother to control what turns up when you type in a keyword. Users have the power to "rate" search results, and as time goes on, these ratings will be used to tweak results accordingly. As The New York Times points out, this means that anyone on earth has the power to rig Wikia Search in much the same way they can rig Wikipedia. But - as usual - Jimbo is adamant that if anyone tries to game the system, his minions will "block them, ban them, delete their stuff." We have no doubt that Wikia will have a field day blocking, banning, and deleting all sorts of people, places, and things. The question is whether Jimbo&r...
Wikia Search goes live.. but don't expect a Google killer
2008-01-08 07:18:00 Jimmy Wales, the famous founder of Wikipedia, just unveiled an alpha version of his Wikia Search engine project. But despite the hype surrounding its appearance, online commentary has been mostly negative. Across the blogosphere, pundits pounced. But technologists at leading search companies defended Wales and said his efforts could benefit the entire industry.Arrington of Techcrunch wrote on his blog that the project is "a complete letdown" saying:Many of us have waited a year as the Jimmy Wales hype machine promised a human powered search engine that could take on Google. Tonight that search engine launched at alpha.search.wikia.com, and it may be one of the biggest disappointments I’ve had the displeasure of reviewing.Wales admitted that the current search results are "pretty bad," saying it will take a minimum of two years before Wikia Search produces results as good as the major search engines. Matt Cutts, who leads Google's Web spam team, on the other hand published a blog...

2008-01-07 16:30:00 Wikia Search Alpha has been launced today.About Wikia Search:Wikia is working to develop and popularize a freely licensed (open source) search engine. What you see here is our first alpha release.We are aware that the quality of the search results is low.Wikia's search engine concept is that of trusted user feedback from a community of users acting together in an open, transparent, public way. Of course, before we start, we have no user feedback data. So the results are pretty bad. But we expect them to improve rapidly in coming weeks, so please bookmark the site and return often.Right now, the most important thing you can do is help with the "miniarticles" that appear at the top of popular search terms. These will vary in purpose according to the circumstance, but the primary uses will be:Short definitions Disambiguations Photos See also At the bottom of every page is a linke to "Post bug reports here"... please use that link liberally to give us large amounts of feedback.I believ...

New 'Wikia Search' by Wikipedia
2008-01-07 00:00:00 Although Wikipedia's influence seems to expand beyond the unseen horizon, they don't seem to be making much money, according to founder Jimmy Wales. But that does not discourage him, for his brilliant mind sees another opportunity to further strengthens Wikipedia's territory. Thus 7th January 2008 will witness the day Wikipedia launches it's very own search engine, Wikia Search. The new search engine will launch with only around 50 to 100 million indexed pages, which will grow in number with time. Wales' goal is to get his network of volunteers to decide how search engine results should be ranked instead of letting the computer algorithms do the whole process on auto. It's not hard to detect the sarcasm directed towards Google Inc there. In short, what Wales aims to do is to provide a search engine where no one should be able to manipulate the rank - like Google but without loopholes for rank exploitation. But we know how evil Google can be when it com...

Wikia Search Launch - What are the results like?
1970-01-01 00:59:00 Well, this is one we have all been waiting for here in the Vertical Leap UK office. Plenty of people are aware of the Wikipedia, whether you are an Internet Marketer like the staff here at VL, or whether if you are a normal searcher. Wikipedia is widely used as an information resource, I even used it when I was doing some initial research for my dissertation when I was at uni - I wasn't able to cite it directly because it was not considered of proven integrity, although I believe there is some debate as to whether or not this should continue as articles are becoming better cited, although I digress. The point is that the Wikipedia has been a dominant force in the search engine results pages (SERPs), I think that it probably appears in the top 5 for at least 1/3 of the things that I am ever searching the internet for (although I suspect that my browsing patterns are somewhat different from a normal browser). As a result of the prominence of the Wikipedia, there are high hopes...
