DISQUS

So far the search engine war is long over. The big 3, google, yahoo and microsoft each has their own market. No room for new comers unless google loses their focus. So far not the case apparently.

On the contrary, I think niche/vertical search based sites should do well. I am working on my bilingual Chinese/English website as a hobby project for search based FAQ systems, www.JiansNet.com

Ironically, I believe my site should carve out a niche and better than cuil does.

What a waste of money and time for the cuil guys to do something that is completely not so cuil and useless.

The best they get might be a good experiment result that they could take and learn from it.

How to get more users to use my question and answer system, this is the #1 thing that keeps me up all night. Also, how to compete with Google in terms of the next generation search engine? It must be a search engine utilizing the mass wisdom and more user friendly as well.

So, all puzzles me...No answer yet.

This whole idea of free wiki for everyone doesn't work for me. There is no business incentive whatsoever to have the company website hosted by wetpaint. In fact, I think it is better for a company to spend couple dollars to host their website with a decent hosting company.

I am afraid without enough traction, wetpaint is going to belly up.

You might want to consider our site search service. We offer an alternative site search to google's hosted site search solution.

Please take a look at www.JiansNet.com and let me know how you think.

Thanks,
