Comments on: New Wikia interface enables search-results apps

Wikia Search releases an interface to let others build miniature applications to spruce up search results.

You can't even publish a wiki about yourself without someone who has so much false clout on wikipedia to have your entire page trashed and deleted due to so called... NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION and so forth.

@inachu: Wikipedia isn't your vanity website. Publishing or editing an article about yourself is a big no-no on Wikipedia, not least due to conflict of interest rules. Sorry to bruise your ego, but if you're even mildly important or famous, people will create a Wikipedia entry about you; otherwise, go post a free blog somewhere.

This idea exists already:

Build an application and hook it up to the system. Good applications will earn money.

Yea, Hi1 and SearchMonkey of course come to mind...I hear they need to approve each app individually - I wonder how that will scale...
