It's no secret that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is interested in scooping up more startups in order to bring their talent on board. From Firefox creator Blake Ross's Parakey ( acquired in 2007 ) through Gmail creator Paul Buchheit's FriendFeed ( acquired in 2009 ), Facebook has made some very high-profile talent acquisitions already. This Fall, Zuckerberg got early access to his old friend Adam...
Back in August we wrote about the ridiculous situation with the National Music Publishers Association suing a bunch of lyrics sites for not paying up to help promote songs. This action helped push at least one of the sites, LyricWiki -- which was user generated lyrics -- to shut down (though, Wikia picked up the project and paid up to the NMPA). Now it appears that the NMPA has forced another one of...
Posted by randfish Lately I've been surprised to hear concerns from a number of SEOs that using the canonical URL tag on the canonical version of the page can somehow cause problems.

Apple gets Mac happy, Google Street View hits the UK and the Internet turns 20 With February's frost thawed, March was a chance for all in techland to get back on its feet once more. The last of the economic low trickled away with more job losses at Nokia and Google, and with the closing down for good of Wikia Search, Microsoft Encarta and music service Spiral Frog as well. The green shoots of recovery...
Short honk: I forgot about this search service. I used it once. CNet’s “15 Sites that Went Kaput in 2009” reminded me of this service that would challenge established Web search leaders via a crowdsourcing play. CNET said: “Wikia Search launched in January of 2008 with an oddball idea: let users control the rankings of [...]

A brief look through wiki.com via Google showed me wikis for 3D microscopy , dreams , and even personal ones set up to promote individuals.
