21 January 2009... nothing better to do?
I'm just curious... what happened to you on January 21.?
I have seen the analytics report on my blog and I have found a great rise of visitors on this date.
Somehow it seems a lot of people (with regard of my normal flow of visitors, of course) found interesting this page about LSD, Alcohol and Trees. It sounds quite strange that the visitors arrived here directly and not from an external link or search engine.
Mmmh... mysteries of the web statistics.
Speaking of that: since I don't use any statistics tool for the RSS feed, I'm curious to know how many of you are following the useless things I write here via RSS feed. Do you mind leave a comment to let me know?
Sooo nice of you.
Britannica: you'll disappear anyway
Britannica is going to allow viewers to edit articles, with changes to be editorial reviewed within 20 minutes.
Mmmmh, if I'm not wrong in 2006 Tom Panelas, Encyclopedia Britannica's Director of Corporate Communications, said:
Wikipedia allows anyone to write and edit articles, regardless of their
knowledge of the subjects on which they're writing, their ability to
write, or their commitment to truth. This policy has allowed Wikipedia
to grow large very fast, but it's come at a price.
The price is that many of its articles are inaccurate, poorly
written, long and bloated, or laden with bias and spin. Despite what
some people would like to believe about Wikipedia, that its system is
self-correcting, many inaccuracies remain for long periods of time, new
ones are added, and, judging from quite a few media reports, sound
information posted by people knowledgeable on a subject is often undone
by others who know nothing about it. This is a natural result of the
way Wikipedia is put together, its willingness to let anyone write and
edit and unwillingness to give precedence to people who know what
they're talking about. People who use Wikipedia should be aware of
these liabilities.
Curious on how many people do actually edit most of wikipedia's entries? Who writes Wikipedia?
