I don’t think th point of Wikipedia is to have me stick around. A point which is quite lost on ‘we only exsist because of a buck’ types, as they simply do not ‘get it’ – i do not use or contribute to Wikipedia because “…in return you are rewarded with something which will help you in the search engine rankings with …” I go there to gain and share information. Period.

well, wikipedia is a great resource and I think will be around for a long time. As for wikiseek, I don’t see the great preformance vaue in it. Wiki-style search is a different ball game. If you mean human interaction or user moderation to the search results, take a look at Sproose, which I founded on that very principle. Users don’t write the results, but they do vote- rank and share them. A model of algo’s and human input.
