Wikia Search went live today.
So what? So it’s the brainchild of one Jimmy Whales, the clever chap who brought you Wikipedia. So there’s just a remote chance that it may fly.
The search results are, so far, pretty damn poor, and many of the preferences do not work. But as the world gets stuck in and begins to rate those returns, so they’ll improve (tricky right now, as the star ratings that accompany each entry in a return are disabled), and doubtless the various features will get switched on in the coming weeks.

So here it is… the defining statement that says goodbye to Web 2.0, and hello to a new generation. Or not. Either, Jason Calacanis (all-round web entrepreneur, and the co-founder of Weblogs Inc.), has had a stab at giving a dictionary definition of Web 3.0:
Web 3.0 is defined as the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technology as an enabling platform.

The internet has always been keen to house games of B*llsh*t Bingo. Only recently, the concept of the ‘social graph‘ caught a fire - mostly in discussions around the freedom to move from Facebook to MySpace to some other virtual coffee shop.The term has obviously attracted the anger of Dave Winer:
So if you don’t want to sound like an idiot, call a social graph a social network and stand up for your right to understand technology, and make the techies actually do some useful stuff instead of making simple stuff sound complicated.
How to avoid sounding like an monkey (Scripting News)You can see his point. The term was coined in the midst of a perfectly valid debate (imagine trying to leave Facebook today - that’s an awful lot of contacts and exchanges to lose), but is fundamentally no different to ’social networks’.
