Here’s a favorite topic of greywolf: Wikipedia in Google.

From the NYT Top list from the last 30 days, we searched for the top 15 terms in Google:

Here are the results:

1. harry potter

2. sex
Wikipedia: 2
3. china
Wikipedia: 1 +2
4. immigration
Wikipedia: 4
5. india
Wikipedia: 1
6. iraq

12. bush
Wiki: 1+2
13. cancer
Wiki: 2
14. art
Wiki: 2
15. korea
Wiki: 2+3
Yahoo: 7

The wikipedia came in

1st: 5 times
2nd: 7 times
3rd: 1 time
4th: 2 times
None: 2 times

Now, we have heard that Wikipedia is developing a search engine.

If the wikipedia partners with Firefox or otherwise is able to successfully push their search engine, will Google have to rethink its dependence on the wikipedia? Is this a similar paradigm to IBM and MsDOS?
