Microsoft SearchTogether is an innovative group search function. This plugin for Internet Explorer 7 allows users to search together while leaving notes and chating. Users can also give ratings and recommendations. Search engine results are not changed although this may happen in future. Google has also been exploring these types of results but has not yet made such a bold move as releasing a plugin. I applaud Microsoft for this.

Google announced that they will be starting their own competitor to Wikipedia. Unlike Wikipedia the articles will be written by authority authors. The author’s name will be very visible. Author’s can also share in revenue from Google adsense ads on the articles.

Look out Wikipedia, you are dead and here is why:

1. Google support and traffic and rankings will disappear and your visitors will be instantly reduced

2. The Wikipedia system is plagued by personal attacks and spam

3. The Wikipedia editors are teenagers and college kids that are themselves corrupt

4. Anyone can write or delete anything at any time on Wikipedia and automatic and manual restorations have to be constantly made taking time and computer resources away from other productive tasks

5. The Google Knol has both financial and fame incentives which will result in higher quality articles

6. Google is most interested in the highest quality results for their visitors. The Wikipedia results are either crap, spammed, or negotiated and compromised into a general consensus article that is often wrong

7. Wikipedia is dependant on donations, Google has billions of dollars to throw at it and billions more to make from Knols

8. The Wikipedia site and software itself is clumsy, confusing, buggy, and a sucks

9. I am sorry but Wikipedia is a terrible name. Not that Knol is better

1. Do not use Flash

2. If you do use flash make sure everything is drawn from external .xml or .txt documents and image includes

3. Text should be text

4. Add a sitemap

5. Do not go crazy with flash or javascript navigation or at least add text links at the bottom of the page

6. The page size should be under 200 KB and under 500 KB if your users all have high speed internet (your web stats will tell you)

7. Add in some alt tags where appropriate for images

8. Add in some Heading tags where appropriate

9. Check how your design displays in IE and Firefox

10. Make sure the design is easy to change or replace. This includes using include files or templates as well as saving Photoshop .psd files in a vector format in an easy to find place.
