Not to get too old-timey or anything, but I knew members in the WELL, had an e-mail account in 1992, and was using Archie (Jughead and Veronica too--we were very resourceful then) before Mosaic came on the scene. Podcasts may be the new new thing, but--yawn--it's really a rather old thing. Social networks (the WELL, Free-Nets, MUD's, IRC) were past tense in 1994 (Rheingold's 'Virtual Communites,' et. al.). Well, maybe imperfect tense--Everything old is new again.

I'm pretty sure that a shopping list could be a LOT easier with a pencil and a pad of paper, despite the claims that "it couldn't be easier" with PBWIKI.

Speaking at an academic conference at UPenn, Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, urged students that they shouldn't use the online encyclopedia for class projects. It is not, he claims, a definitive source. "It is pretty good, but you have to be careful of it. It's good enough, depending on what your purpose is."

Good enough...

Although Wikipedia frowns on subjects of an entry from editing their own bio, this hasn't stopped Wales from editing his own entry 18 times, including a revision whereby he alone is the founder of Wikipedia.

Revisionism...

Wales says, "Over the past three years, the quality of Wikipedia has improved dramatically," as some 600 to 1,000 contributors help maintain the integrity of "up to 75 percent of the site's entries."

Only 25% of the information is wrong!
