It seems google and wikipedia have decided to end each other’s dominance in the web . Last week wikipedia founder stated that his search engine will definitely be a perfect rival to google’s power over the WEB SEARCH . He also said that his search engine would be based mostly on the human-made entries .
And as everyone know , google launched “ KNOL” a site similar to wikipedia – where we can publish our articles and its also possible to add our adsense ads and earn money – not sure whether its worth but got to check it out .
HERE IS WHAT THE KNOL PRODUCT MANAGER SAYS ,
"The big difference is authorship is highlighted," Cedric Dupont, Knol product manager, said in an interview with CNET News. "In the long term we hope that encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, would use knols as references… If Knol is successful, it will help Wikipedia."
Wales , the founder of wikipedia also said that ,
“Google is very good at many types of search, but in many instances it produces nothing but spam and useless crap. Try searching for the term ‘Tampa hotels’, for example, and you will not get any useful results ” .
so if wales thinks that its so easy to dominate google in web search , i could never ever imagine that . atleast not so in ten to fifteen years . But yeah , lets wait and see .
