Wikia Search launched today. For an analysis on its chances, check here.
I’m not very impressed, to be quite frank.
I ran two searches where this blog ranks well in Google and this is what I got:
1. “Nate Westheimer”
2. “Facebook business model”
(see the screenshots below)
To be frank, because innonate.com didn’t show up in these searches, I don’t think Wikia’s going very deep at all.
innonate.com is not a popular website by any means, but there are certainly enough links out there which would have it cross paths with a spider or two. It’s also a top 350,000 website, according to Alexa, and I would hope that Wikia was spidering the top 500,000 websites out there.
Anyway, until I learn more about whatever secret sauce is behind this which I should be raving about, I’m not going to rave about it… or use it.
