Who wants to be the knowledge repository for all mankind?
The race is on:
– Encyclopædia Britannica: the free stuff is weak! [rank= 2,839]
– Wikipedia: a controversy on quality [rank = 31]
– Digital Universe: slow going in building out the “portals” [rank = 150,326]
– Squidoo: too quirky? [rank = 6,290]
and of course there’s Google…
I’m betting on two things: “free” and “ease-of-use” – and the winner (today) is Wikipedia.
