H@ppy Friday. Today is Wikipedia Day, celebrating the public launch of Wikipedia.com in 2001. The site's nature of being open to edit content and provide links to cross-reference makes it a popular and dynamic site.As of January 8, 2010, there are approximately 3,151,800 articles with 358,474,672 edits made and counting! Anything under the sun is in Wikipedia starting at brief definitions which are then expanded upon and updated Wiki-style to keep up with the digital world. The Wikipedia dating article not only explains “going dutch” but also includes information on, internet dating, mobile dating, and virtual dating. Similarly, the Wikipedia marriage article continues to change from African marriage rituals to new laws about same-sex marriage. Happy Birthday Wikipedia!"Predictable But Fun" Twitter Whaaat? |

Wikipedia is a great site.
Wikipedia is a great site. The interesting thing about it is that people are always updating subject matter. The reason it works well is that those who have expertise on a subject are generally the ones who care enough to update and post things about it online. Therefore, we have generally correct information on wikipedia.
