Link: Wiki Search Planned - Yahoo! News. Were you aware that Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, is from my town of St. Petersburg, Florida? Yes, friends, this hotbed of Internet activity is home to both the FutureLawyer and Wikipedia. Well, Mr. Wales is taking on Google, and that story alone should be frightening to the formerly non-corporate Internet Revoloutionary founders of Google, which now hobnobs with Governments, and makes deals with the Chinese to restrict Internet searches. Mr. Wales believes the the Internet needs a search engine that is not, in his words, "broken". His exact quote was "It is broken for the same reason that proprietary software is always broken: lack of freedom, lack of community, lack of accountability (and) lack of transparency. Here, we will change all that." Given his history with Wikipedia, who can doubt him?
