I would personally hate for my start-up to be positioned in this way in media during its starting stages. Another example is Powerset which has raised millions, has been touted as a google killer and hosted cool Valley parties--and is yet to launch.
My BS meter just shoots up when I know more about a start-up's PR success than its product.
Yeah it would really put the pressure on you. It's a cool idea really but I don't see it being able to 'overthrow' Google. I guess if you have thousands and thousands of volunteers editing things but I don't see how that's going to happen.
