It’s not that the increasing number of social networking sites is bad. In fact, the more the merrier right? But when a startup attempts to topple Google and is promoted with much hype then fails to meet the expectactions, then it can be very disappointing…a waste even.
Such is the case with Wikia Search. Why, even Aaron Wall and Michael Arrington agrees. The not-so-search engine brought about high expectations only to disappoint.
I could go on and on and on but very notable is the poor results. I honestly think that it will take such startups a long way before they reach Google status. Or maybe never.
If users are allowed to add keywords to their profiles, then perhaps any plain Jane can top Paris Hilton and Britney’s search results. I think that’s not good.People need relevant results and until Wikia Search thinks of a better algorithm, I shall still turn to Google for my everyday search engine fix.
