Collaborative search
Collaborative search is the latest buzz word going around in the technology space after Jimmy Wales the founder of Wikipedia has announced his plans to build a search engine.
At a conference in Tokyo this week, Wales declared that Wikipedia’s commercial counterpart, Wikia, plans to grab around 5 percent of the lucrative Internet search market.
Using the term ‘black boxes’ to describe commercial search giants as they never disclose their ranking algorithms, Wales said that collaborative search technology can indeed change the way people search over the Internet.
In the collaborative search users can actually work together to improve search engines, and that constant improvement would make search technology foolproof. This is exactly the way Wikipedia works and by going by it’s example we will have a very powerful search engine in the making which will be improved faster than any commercial product.
