Google is always known for its ease of use ,free services and destroying their competition completely. They try to attack the wikipedia by launching their own wiki but wikipedia survived the attack. And now wikipedia is going to launch its own search engine in which the websites will be indexed by humans than crawlers(although it looks quite difficult). So what is your guess will it be able to give competition to google ? or everyone will forget about it like another Britney Spears scandal.
Indexed by Humans?? that gona take years....but yeah we could have quality then... Threats for Google,umm i guess very little until and unless this whole process is superfast
I dont think so, wiki is good "dictionary" and it provide good information but people cant use it to find answer for the question. Google success not only they are good in search engine technology but marketing. It will depend on how good they wiki's guy marketing too
I guess not, wikipedia won't be able to beat Google. There are many search engines in the front like like Yahoo, Live etc. It would be very hard for wikipedia to beat Google, especially at this stage. They should've done it before.
Google has developed excellent brand recall value over the years and so it would tough for any competitor to make inroads into its share...so easily. Wikipedia might have managed to survive its battle for existence but attacking and defeating the leader is a different ball game altogether! Regards, RightMan
