Will this be the end of Wikipedia marketing?
 
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/e62ce8a4-5d3...0779e2340.html

or just another DMOZ (corrupt 'editors' run amok)?

wiki has market, other sits fuck what was it just read it citizendium or something close is a typing nightmare. Let alone try to say it.

I predict Google buying wiki in the near future :1orglaugh

Theo 10-17-2006 03:52 AM

easily they'll buy it or sponsor it somehow

GrouchyAdmin 10-17-2006 03:53 AM

Citizendium, more like Citizenidumb.

I'll be here all night folks!

Try the fish!

Wiki will always be marketable.. however he's views are good but it sounds more like wiki2.0 then anything lol

IncaD 10-17-2006 05:02 AM

sounds like the new version is similar to about.com's process.

StarkReality 10-17-2006 05:11 AM

It's already like DMOZ today, there are groups of "contributors" that take care that their shit sites stay listed and if you add a really useful good new link it's removed in a short time....with editors, it will become even worse, yep, you are right

fris 10-17-2006 05:25 AM

goole will buy wiki and about.com next

getting listed on wiki is awesome especially when its pr6 and pr7 pages

Didnt work when DMOZ did it and it wont work now.

1000s of keyboard warriors on a power trip is a recipe for disaster - lol - just saw the irony of saying that on here.

That's not a farfetched idea given the fact that Google LOVES wikipedia reference pages so much :thumbsup

That's my thoughts exactly re "editors" (whatever name a particular site gives them).

DMOZ just degenerated into little fiefdoms... :(
