Site605.com - Man/Machine Hybrid Web Search Results

Site605.com is an extensive online informational resource that serves the top 200,000 sought-after search phrases. The company uses algorithmic techniques to create the initial pages, and has human editors fine-tune them and review them for quality. Sites like Mahalo, Wikipedia, and About.com have shown that there is demand for well-written resource pages authored by real people. However, while one person can write 10 informational webpages from scratch in a day, one could review and edit 50 pages in that same time. The company relies on volunteers both in the United States, and paid staff overseas to engage in summary writing for the various search phrases and reviewing content to ensure quality standards are met. The intention is to provide people with an informational resource on a vast array of subjects and to create a model that will scale across hundreds of thousands of search subjects, not just thousands.

 
  In their own words  

“Site605 was founded on the notion that it is a false choice to choose between algorithmically generated results and human authored pages. Ultimately, what people want is the best, most up-to-date information. Site 605’s vision is to serve people’s information requests by using a combination of technology and manpower, thereby providing useful material in contrast to the deluge of webspam and incomplete data online.”

  Why it might be a killer  

Because it can provide the human perspective Google lacks, and yet provide a reach (200,000 keywords) that purely human-authored sites like Mahalo can't match.

  Some questions  

Will people get used to this kind of site? How will they advertise themselves?
