On: Looking for two specific search engine startups

[Tichy]

Sorry, I hope this is not too off-topic, but I couldn't think of any other place to ask.

One search engine was specialised on finding people. The special feature was that people could "adopt" the result page for themselves and add more specific information. So it was also a kind of Wiki, I guess.

The other one also allowed people to add meta data to the search result, in theory a kind of semantic web could emerge.

Both are fairly recent startups, I think. Don't know why I can't find them in my bookmarks anymore :-(

I think the meta data one is freebase ?

You could be right - I used to see more information about them than they currently reveal, but it seems familiar. Many thanks!

wikiyou? it's still a stealth company but sounds promising.

I don't think that was the one I had seen, but it might be a similar concept. Thanks!
