RCI's Own Pikimal/Webkite Featured In The Business Times

We love seeing RCI members get attention in the media, and it is not surprising that Eric Silver of Pikimal should be noticed by the Business Times. Pikimal is unrolling a new brand called Webkite soon, and we can't wait to see what it can do. Take a look:
Using the technology developed for Pikimal, the new company white labels it, making it a content management platform that any client website can use. 
“I used to think it was all inside Pikimal,” Silver said, about trying to build a new way to search. However, he now sees the technology as a way to harness the opinions of the crowd and the opportunity is giving that tool to others to run on their domains.
