The Ever-Expanding Wikipedia
PoeWar.com has caught a bit of news about the highly popular Wikipedia – the Internet’s encyclopedia of knowledge that is created and edited by everyday people.
The Wikipedia is now expanding its reach by providing its massive collection of knowledge on print, CDs, and DVDs. It was a matter of time before they dominated other mediums.
I personally enjoy my research with the Wikipedia. There really isn’t any limit to what’s available through that resource, and I post references to them all the time.
So very true. Thanks for catching that!

The plural of medium is media (not mediums).
Have a nice day.

I love wiki. It's always ridiculously current when it comes to pop culture. There's a section on the 7 Fighting Styles for light sabres. Brittanica it's not.

I wonder what Howard Stern has to say about this threat to his King of All Media title.
I heard about this a long time ago and actually mentioned it on my blog. I thought it was a bad idea than, and I think it's a bad idea now. I don't really like the thought of a self-correcting reference material not having access to those corrections. Online is nice and easy to update. Books have to wait for a new edition.
