I'm a big fan of this site, I absolutely love it. The Atlantic has an excellent article by Marshall Poe which details the interesting history of wikipedia. One of the most fascinating parts detail how contributors early on had skirmishes with the owner regarding some of the content. Interestingly enough, this became the first *flame war* on the internet. The owner had a 'hands off' approach to moderating and found that in doing so, his actual grasp of things increased. Jeremy Rifkin and Alvin Toffler have written of how empowering the net will become. To me, the story of wikipedia is confirmation of their theories. Any big fans or detractors of wikipedia? Any commentary on the article?![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
