Wikster.

How many years will it be before the entire Internet is simply dissolved into Wikipedia?

As we age disgracefully, we will tell our grandchildren of the origins of Wikipedia, whilst they sit solemnly in front of the WikiWall©®™.

And they shall tell unto us "I know that grandpa/ma, I looked it up." To which we shall reply "lousy little know-it-all, it was we who donated the monies and knowledge that built the free collection, ya ingrate! We battled mightily against potential bias via advertising, and fought vigilantly the vandalism/NPOV wars of the naughties. History revision was unmade that day" before they press Mute The Elderly button on their iMplantPods.

So give some COLD HARD CASH to Wikipedia. And please, if you know anything about anything, please make it officially recognised knowledge and edit a page - many of us would love this opportunity, but know so very little. So give that our brains may grow.

we can write our stories about "the world before wiki", in the style of those oral histories that local councils get honours students to do for them.

Wiki is the best thing on the web. Even better than free porn.

How did I miss a wikipedia page on free porn?!

I've been sneaking around editing spelling errors for some time now, but I finally went legit and signed up. And donated $10... I do that every time they have a fundraiser; it's like a magazine subscription but much better value. When I have kids I think I'll sit them in front of Wikipedia instead of TV- I only wish it had been around when I was a kid. The internet is indeed a much better place with Wikipedia.
