And from Zuckerberg's erstwhile business partner comes a new website Kwiki which looks interesting and purports to offer "information experiences":

I am happy to see that the worl is taking matter in their own hands and that with this kind of actions the famos and geeks, can realize that if they are not safe, neither are we and there is something to be done about it.
I think the qwiki is a great idea for a webpage, and has great potential to develop into a major information source. Although I do think that there should be a text based site to go along with the audio.
Haven't found a topic yet that doesn't exist on its database
I know where I am going to for my homework
I really love this website!! It is cool and fast. It was glitching a lot though but i do not know if it was the websites fault.
that voice on qwiki is really annoying
Friggin' awesome idea! I love that it links up with Wikipedia, and how much detail is put into the information. The only thing I'd have to say about it is with the flow of the computer generated voice, although I understand that's a difficult thing to improve upon. Another feature they could include would be other voices, as the one at the moment is pretty irritating.
I also think that you should be able to highlight or copy the information that is being spoken about, so maybe a page with the "script" as such could be included.
it looks really cool how we wont have to be overloaded with useless info, but instead we can just watch a vid!! awesome:) can we find people like our friends here?
It sounds like something from the future! I really like it and I hope I can use Qwiki soon, it will be much easier to search stuff if I can use it!
I think qwiki might be something for the future, but right now it seems as though people are happy with websites already established. There's too many sites trying to gain popularity, people aren't going to keep up.
has potiential however it needs a lot of work to ensure people get the infomation they are looking for. For instance, instead of scrolling through looking for on bit of information in particular on a web page now you have to watch an entire video.
