Is this competition for Wikipedia/Wikia/Mahalo etc? Notice the section 
where revenue share for writers is included?

Claiming to be a Googlekiller might have be good PR but the danger is 
that Google might take such claims seriously and react. Given Google's 
traffic and the possibility of revenue share for writers, the future 
looks far from clear for other social search ventures.

Any updates on the Wikia search project as it is now almost halfway 
through December?

Regards...jmcc
