Askmenow takes Wiki mobile

AskMeNow is to partner the Wikimedia Foundation to introduce a mobile search tool for Wikipedia, the user-generated online encyclopedia.

The company’s ‘natural language search’ component will mean users can simply ask a question and receive the specific answer directly from Wikipedia. Pending the completion of a successful beta, the partners will make this facility free via mobile. Askmenow will also launch a desktop search tool to let PC users search for answers, provide feedback and edit content.

AskMeNow’s CEO Darryl Cohen said: “We look forward to working side by side with the many volunteers that make Wikipedia one of the Internet's top ten sites. Together with the Wikimedia Foundation, we will establish new ways to interact with Wikipedia's content without jeopardising the uniqueness that has made it so successful."
