I think of “people powered search” to be something different, where each of us are the spiders/crawlers and our behaviors/interests form the indices.

Sequioa threw a pile of money at Calacanis and said "go build a company" (something he's stated publicly). Personally, I don't think innovation works that way.</p> Like the other commenters, I’ll believe it when I see it.
