Qwiki: The Flashy Wikipedia Alternative

Wikipedia is a great tool for acquiring a general working knowledge of nearly any topic fairly quickly. This allows its users to get a basic idea of the subject before embarking on serious research. At times, however, there is a lot of information being thrown at you, when you just want to get to the core of the issue! Also, Wikipedia doesn't read to you in a soothing computer voice.


This is where Qwiki comes in! This great online tool basically gives you a briefing of nearly any topic under the sun! Search for a subject, and it automatically starts reading you a brief rundown of the topic. Along with the audio, you are presented with a very stylish slideshow to please the eyes as well! There are also subtitles and full screen options for your viewing pleasure!

Like Wikipedia, Qwiki also relies somewhat on input from users adding to the content, so there will always be growth! It grabs information from Google, Wikipedia, Fotopedia and YouTube.
