You have all heard of Wiki, the online reference library that every Tom Dick and Harold can update from home, correctly, or incorrectly. And you have all heard of search engines, of course, compiled by robots, programmed by men with foreheads the size of a small sky scraper. Now meet the crossover point, Swicki. a social search portal.

In the words of the people behind this cool concept

With every search, vote and click, your swicki generates more relevant results and turns into a valuable asset for you and your community.

In other words, the search can be tailored exactly to what my readers are interested in.

For instance, that tag cloud in the side bar is a list of keywords I have used in posts on the Tech Pisstaker so far.

Swicki has graded them by the number of times they have appeared. If you do a search by keyword, for instance "INDEXING", you get taken to the search results page, which is powered by Google. The cool thing is, my site visitors can modify and improve or correct the search results. Search meets wicki. Simple.

Ordinarily, the reference and information required by most tech readers tends to be deadly serious and spot-on accurate. The swicki for say, Techcrunch, is one such example. However the swicki for Tech Pisstaker has been set up to fill a hole in the market, and reflect the humor in tech. It is quite simple.

My first contribution to the Swicki was Indexing, a perfect way for Google to employ otherwise useless robots, and I included a URL back to a post on this site about Indexing a Blog. This isn't all about me though, it is a community deal, where you can vote, and contribute your own ideas.

To add a definition to my poor start! just click on INDEXING, and click on Comment on this post at the bottom of the entry from pisstaker. Then add your own touch of humor related to indexing. It can be a one-liner or a story, whatever grabs you.

If there are no definitions from Tech Pisstaker to be found when you search the swicki buzzcloud in the sidebar, be the first! At the top of the search page is "Comment on this search" which allows you to write your own definition. Please be so kind as to link to a relevant post on this site, and then we can all contribute.

One day we will have a body of work that will be able to boast a swicki that can raise a smile from even the dullest tech geek.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed that public service announcement. Search on, dudes!
