It's probably too early to worry too much about the SEO implications and even if you were it would be difficult to find out how to optimise for Qwiki - they want to keep their secrets to themselves.It seems there will be API or standard data format for transferring information to Qwiki. Early indications are that it may and I think Google would be a natural company to acquire it. It's a little hard to categorise, but I think it will be down to SEOs to learn how to represent their clients well within it.

Marketing implications: I called it a search engine in the headline. Thanks to our expert commentator Imran Farooq of MMC Learning for tipping me off about this. Although you can share the content, there is little in the way of interaction, review or refinement at the moment, despite Qwiki being in the name, I guess that will evolve. The voiceover is very futuristic - like from a Sci-fi movie.

TEDx SF 2010 - Juan Enriquez from Qwiki on Vimeo.įor me, Qwiki looks to be a great visual way of learning - think of it as a combination of Wikipedia or Google Knol with a TV documentary. So what is Qwiki? Qwiki describes its technology capability as "to evaluate and enrich any static text "€“ transforming it into a beautiful, interactive experience with zero human effort "€“ it can be applied to virtually any corpus of information. But it's already getting rave reviews and satisfaction ratings from users and I found it interesting to take a look. It's very early days for the service - it's in a closed alpha and launched around November 2010. Here’s an embed sample and video of their TechCrunch Disrupt demo, below.Our commentary: Here we're alerting you to an exciting new information-sharing and learning technology. Says Monier about his latest endeavor, ambitiously, ” “Qwiki is not search – it’s a new media format and a groundbreaking method of consuming information.” Qwiki plans on expanding to thousands of other content sources, building an iPad app and eventually releasing a custom publishing platform which will allow publishers to transform their own content into a Qwiki.Ĭreated by Doug Imbruce and Louis Monier, the caliber of the Qwiki team is one of the primary reasons it has received so much traction pre-launch, as CTO Monier is the founder of one of the web’s original search engines, Alta Vista. New features in the public alpha include “Share” or the ability to post, tweet, email or embed Qwikis, “Improve this Qwiki” or the opportunity to contribute content such as YouTube videos and pictures to Qwikis as well as give feedback on sound quality, and a text-based “Contents” section that includes all the information in a given Qwiki. In testament to its success building buzz pre-launch, it was “ spoof” cloned over the weekend using only 321 lines of code. Heralding itself as an “information experience,” Qwiki has about 3 million reference topics at the time of its launch and hundreds of thousands of users according to a release.

Qwiki, for those of you who haven’t been following the hype, basically reads heavily Wikipedia-sourced articles out loud with photo and video accompaniments. TechCrunch Disrupt winner Qwiki launches publicly at 12pm PST today after a week filled with the news, most notably that of an $8 million funding round led by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and YouTube founder Jawed Karim.
