I came across an article this morning on Jimmy Wales, and an announcement he made to a room of 100 of South Africa’s top IT personnel. It seems as though Jimmy Wales plans on expanding his Wiki style projects under a company named Wikia. The plan is to take the Wiki concepts to other types of websites, and communities as well as expanding outside of the not-for-profit sector.
On the left is a screenshot of his project and on the right is a screenshot of a Facebook profile.

While he claims this is a search utility, it appears to me to be a social utility. Maybe it is some sort of cross-bread between social networking and search, but to me it looks pretty close to Facebook. Who knows maybe we’ll all be a part of some sort of wiki-Facebook project creating the largest open-source social networking too…. we’ll have to wait and see.
