Qwiki’s goal is to forever improve the way people experience information.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re planning a vacation on the web, evaluating restaurants on your phone, or helping with homework in front of the family Google TV, Qwiki is working to deliver information in a format that’s quintessentially human \u2013 via storytelling instead of search.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
