I entirely agree. The best way to build something is to get alot of smart people working on it--or rather, just enough smart people. The thing that Wikipedia leverages so powerfully is the ability of a wiki to let people work in parallel. Unfortunately, that advantage does not translate to building a search engine--you can't have people working separately, each contributing intelligence in their own domain, and expect to build a working algorithm. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but as far as I've seen, Jimbo is pretty much just flying around in his roflcopter talking up vapor on this one.
