The coolest thing about wikipedia is how their pages are updated live, as the story develops. And it covers really new stuff as well. I spent the day reading about the Plame affair, Huffington Post, Lawrence Wilkerson, New America Foundation, radcial centrism, MoveOn.org, DailyKos, and a ton of other entries that I’m not so sure the Britannica would include.
An encyclopedia that covers current events and very recent stuff is not just a better encyclopedia, it’s a whole new ball game.
There’s something for you to grok, Nicolas Carr.
