The problem with stumpedia is that it has so little in it.  As a search engine it is useless because so many searches yield no results.  I just did searches for some words - dishes, Neptune, sneakers, Argentina, mutual funds - and got no results.  And many searches bring up just the Wikipedia page, which I could have more easily found by going to wikipedia.com.

I know it's still a new project, but I don't see why anyone would use Stumpedia unless they were trying to list their own site.  Oh, a search for SEO brings up 28 results.  28 for SEO, but 0 for Argentina or Neptune?  This is not a useful search engine.

I find del.icio.us to be a good site for searching sometimes, and it is similar in that ordinary people list bookmarks.  But at least there they have a large number of users and a large index of bookmarks, so there is a good chance you can find something useful.

Thank you all for your interest in Stumpedia and comments.  We certainly recognize the lack of search results.  Our approach has been to market to SEO professionals, content producers, webmasters and all those who may ultimately benefit from search traffic and find the Stumpedia concept interesting enough to contribute.  The next stage would be to market to general users.  We definitely agree that we have a long journey ahead, but we are in this for the long haul. At one time or another there was little in google and wikipedia also. ;-)
