Wondering why they said Amazon had the best holiday ever in its 12-year history? Look at this publicized Amazon UK warehouse pic....

Wikiasari

For those following search engine technology would know that Amazon and the founder of Wikipedia teamed up and will launch a "Google rival" early next year, named Wikiasari.

So far, none of Amazon's new services has gain traction: Unbox, Mechanical Turk, S3, Askville, and A9--all these services are quite disappointing to a forced investor like me.

Will Wikiasari make the break?

To be honest, I'm doubtful--the name doesn't sound attractive to me :-)

Also, it's so difficult to determine whether Wikipedia's explanation on a term is authoritive or not. I mean, the terms are explanined by the community, which doesn't always accurate (oh well, it's hard to justisfy "accurate" anyway).

Christmas is a good example.
