Jimmy Wales, the man behind Wikipedia, has lauched a new search engine which lets users rate the relevance of results then apply that information to shape future search results shown to others.
Jimmy has said that he wants to build a completely freely licensed open source search engine which draws on online social network ideas. Critics say that he could be the victim of spammers. Machines will get the search going before user recommendations come into play. And unlike Wikipedia, this is a commercial venture. Jimmy hopes to sell ads on Wikia (www.wikia.com). Can Jimmy fix it? We will see.
