The Knowledge of Everybody

For a long time I have been fascinated by Wikipedia, which was started by (among others) the tireless Erik Moeller. More than 250,000 articles have been submitted to this huge encyclopedia as of today and the quality appears to grow in similar waves. For newspapers there is the very interesting Current Events page which lends itself for easy linking and support for this open-source knowledge project. There’s no immediate commercial benefit apparent, but it will make you feel good. Plus, for the dictionary aficionados, try out the Wiktionary while you follow your enlightened inner self. (For more on Wikipedia, be sure to read Sree Sreenivasan‘s recent column about it, which appeared on Poynter.org.)
