At first sight, the home page of memoid.ru looks similar to those less than ordinary news aggregation sites which collect and group news headlines and then lead you to a page with news text accepted via RSS or other syndication protocol.
But a landing page of memoid.ru is appended by an encyclopaedic article which gives additional information about the main topic of the news. According to the rumours came from project owners, the “Poiskovye Tekhnologye” (The Technologies of Search) company, which is partially owned by Ashmanov & Partners company, well known for their antagonism to the Wikipedia, these academic articles are written by expects in their field and corrected by professional editors, both yet unknown (sic!), and thus are of better quality than Wikipedia.
Also the rumours say the functionality of the site hasn’t implemented in full yet. E.g. it will have a search functionality which will lead users directly to academic articles according to the user queries.
I guess the combination of a news article and an academic article in one web page is an attempt to accept more traffic from both news and organic search engines. Likely alternative solutions of combining news feeds with the Wikipedia will follow.

NoBrandSearch is a new project of Hakia. It’s intended to be an one more blind comparison of search engines. Unfortunately, it has a flaw in non-Latin characters display for Google results (and, in particular, that fact has led me to vote for Bing’s results which displays Cyrillic correctly):

Begun, the second large Russian context ads network introduces templates for context ads, as it’s been stated at corporate site.
A template of context ads is a basic form of ads in which Begun inserts search keywords automatically according to user queries. E.g., the ad template heading “#foreign# cars sale” will appear as “Audi cars sale” for the user query “Audi cars”, which would attract attention of potential customers who are interested in cars of this particular car maker.
Thus an advertiser can use single template for a bunch of keywords or promoted products, which will show ads relevant to a particular search query.
Templates can be used as in ad heading as in ad description but only once in each section.
