"Wiki-identification" by Michael Schönitzer

Hello,
Wikis, like Wikipedia, are a controversial concept - many people like them, but others hate them. The Wikipedia is the biggest and best known wiki, but there are also a lot of other wikis.
So wouldn't it be a nice idea, if you would create a technology, which recognizes if a site is a wiki - the technology should recognize wikis, running with MediaWiki, MoinMoin, TWiki, PmWiki, DokuWiki.
Then, you an add an option to the Advanced search and the personal settings, how wikis should be treated in the search results.
I would use a drop-down-box, with the options:
*Only search wikis
*Prefer wikis
*Handle like other sites (default)
*discriminate wikis
*ignore wikis
You could also put this into the "Refine your search"-box.
(Hope my English is not so bad... please ask if you don't understand ;)
Hope you don't dislike this idea! I think, in this way, the people can choose better, what they are searching for.

"The 1000 & 1 faces of Exa" by Thomas

The smiling face at the bottom of the page (Exa ?), could have specific outfits for specific days in the year (New Year's eve, Xmas, National Holydays, famous people's death or birth anniversary,...). A little like google's logos.
It would make people talk even more about our Web Search Engine.

I suggest to creat an Exalead community, Examania.
