New Search, Semantic Web Coming?

At first blush the concept of the Wikipedia model adapting itself to search technology and posing a threat to Google seems improbable. But Jimmy Wales says that search is broken, and he can fix it:

“Search is part of the fundamental infrastructure of the Internet. And, it is currently broken.

“Why is it broken? It is broken for the same reason that proprietary software is always broken: lack of freedom, lack of community, lack of accountability, lack of transparency. Here, we will change all that.”
