A community focused search engine

SWICKI is something clever you (you as in web site owners or blog- or wiki- writers) can offer your community. People visit your site because they're interested in what you offer. Makes sense. People go to a dance-shoe site because they're interested in the Tango or the 4-step Waltz. People go to a food catering site in Berkeley because -- chances are, they live in the neighborhood and want to have a fancy party. SO? Swiki takes this built-in bias and offers your site visitors a search engine that's SPECIFICALLY TWEAKED for your 'community's' interests. More than that -- and if the people who make swikik (Eurekster) have their way, your community's focused searches will be something other companies will be willing to pay you for.
