Very viral… You give emails of your relatives with the hope that they’ll fill out the graph and extend your family tree. And very useful also. When 2 edges meet, it grows up to something big, you find out family members that you never knew. This is a great idea and I bet for it!

Works well in queries with semantic tone, not in all queries though. And unlike others, when it fails, it fails very bad! I bookmark it and will definitely check out. It’s exciting to have a Google alternative around.

I’m moving to Amsterdam this month; I’ll be very busy; I’ll attend some web 2.0 conferences and look for new job oppurtunities; I may keep you updated while I’m there; but my internet access may be limited (in the cheap hostels of Amsterdam)

Techcrunch says that Wetpaint got $5.5M funding. And adds that competitors like Wikia and Jotspot made similar deals with VC’s.. I simply can’t believe… VC’s have too much money to spread out. You have tens of open source wikis around; and they are very high quality. How come you fund a wiki service so much!

Go Riya… Riya is coming up with much more new features. They’ll start crawling the web for more pictures; the objective is to become no 1 photo search company. They have a Mac client also…
