World Brain

I first have to give major props to Jimmy Wales to have created something as universal as Wikipedia.

While I sometimes question the validity of the articles on Wikipedia I am glad they are all there. Wikipedia gives new meaning to the idea of free information. The great thing about the site is that it is a wonderful starting point for an informational source. Lately it seem that I have a hundred different ideas or topics that interest me and I want to know more about so I always start looking things up on Wikipedia. In a world where need to know knowledge is at your finger tips Wikipedia is the easiest place to begin. The site has its faults, but the creator and his team work hard to keep things correct and above board.  I can waste hours just browsing around on pointless topics always learning a little something new. So yes, Wikipedia is one of the greatest inventions ever in my book, (and clearly being in my book counts for a lot!)
