Wikipedia

[robinturner]

I've just discovered Wikipedia, a collaborative encyclopaedia project using wiki technology. It's addictive - I've just written an article on hapkido (not uploaded yet) and brutally extensively revised the entry on tantra.

I noticed they need an article on cognitive linguistics - maybe fauxpas could write one.

Interesting! I don't know what "wiki technology" is, though.

It's basically a website that anyone can modify. See www.wikipedia.com/wiki/WikiWiki (http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/WikiWiki).

Are you familiar with the similar Everything2 (http://www.everything2.com/)?

I just checked it out, then quickly clicked my Back button, as it looks horribly addictive ;-)
