My favorite site that I've found in the past year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wel...me%2C_newcomers

"Wikipedia is an encyclopedia written collaboratively by its readers. The site is a WikiWiki, meaning that anyone, including you, can also edit any article right now by clicking on the Edit this page link that appears in the frame of every Wikipedia article."

I think it's okay if you want to find a really brief outline of something, but for most of the things i've looked at, it's vague and often inaccurate. Which is pretty much a given with the way the site works.

Did you IM me the other day? I wasn't around. Hit me in email.

I love brief outlines. Good for forming a complete picture. Clean it up later.

Colin.. what stops spammers coming along and editing the pages?

You can even edit the front page of the site

In theory nothing. However I've been using wikipedia for quite a while now and never seen anything like that.

Amazing.. and cool to see there is a little respect left on the web!

(better not mention this on GFY though) ;-)

Easy to get lost in that site... really interesting!
