  Wikipedia: Grassroots Facts Attacked

The unique ecosystem of the internet makes for very interesting battles within the process of societal and economic evolution. New forms of virtual life compete with traditional dinosaurs of the arts, journalism, commerce and community structure. Ebay, Amazon, and Google have displaced competing non-virtual establishments. Now the wikipedia has been publicly questioned by a High School librarian.

<>The wikipedia is an online encyclopedia created by its users. Instead of a tradition tomes compiled. Slashdot hosted a very interesting discussion about new forms of cooperative economic systems.

Personally, wikipedia is the first place I use for background information on a subject and I've added a wikipedia plugin to my Firefox search bar.
