A qiki is the experience of a question answered quickly.

A good qiki:

gives answers in seconds (or great clues)
takes years to make (or minutes)
is available to everyone (or just you)
can be built (or built upon) by anyone with insight
looks like one long horizontal line of stuff
feels like total recall
uses no JavaScript (until you click)
uses HTML limited to: <span style class id title lang> and <a href name>
uses any special characters, so &hearts; looks like ♥
uses any CSS (including background-image - wink)
uses tool tips (stuff shows up when you hover with the mouse)
uses auto expanders — a scrollbar is a sign of incomplete design
