Tube Wikia is a mash-up of YouTube and Wikipedia, it takes a search entry from a user and returns search results from both websites displayed
side-by-side. The idea is to contrast two distinct types of information that is returned: Wikipedia returns formal almost scholarly, static information; while YouTube
gives results that are at the least informal, sometimes only loosely related to the search, and change every few days. Both types are legitimate forms of
information, both are valid, but each provides knowledge that is useful in different ways.
