Wikipedia vs. Google

Looks like Jimmy Wales thinks he can create a "Google killer". We will see. I am betting on Google.

A Wikipedia search would be based on the "wisdom of crowds". Crowds are not perfect (and mobs are worse). Keep in mind...

  1. The crowd can choose between Alice Cooper and Ashlee Simpson
  2. Ashee sells more records to the crowd
  3. The crowd CLEARLY is in error in this case

    I think you are wrong commecon, Crowd knows what is right for them and what is wrong. I betcha in coming future most of the information you will be using will come from wiki. Do you remember starting days of Google, If yes, believe me Wiki is gonna rock the world.

    . I so think google is going to win. There are dumb people that go on and edit stuff that's right and make it wrong. A lot of people do that as a joke. Because of that huge flaw. GOOGLE IS GOING TO ROCK THE WEB.
