A new website called Qwiki, http://www.qwiki.com/, is the next generation in search engine results and online learning. The website is still evolving, but basically Qwiki creates a multimedia slide show and reads a synopsis from a scrolling transcript about any subject.
Search for a topic in Qwiki to watch and listen to a spontaneously generated multimedia presentation that regularly includes photos as well as relevant maps, charts, graphs and videos. You are also offered Featured Qwikis on interesting or related topics, a cross between YouTube video suggestions and Wikipedia links. Also similar to Wikipedia, you can enhance any Qwiki by suggesting new photos or even pronunciation improvements. Qwikis are easily shared with friends, students and colleagues too.
Here’s an example Qwiki about Niagara Falls:
And here is a Qwiki about Tokyo:
And a third one on Qwiki itself:
