Theres really only one place to go these days if
you want an answer fast, and its Wikipedia - the
encyclopedia you can be part of. As with all
"wikis2, the entries of this amazing resource
(quarter of a million and growing) are
user-editable, so if you see a mistake or a
misplaced semicolon, you can simply change it.
This collaborative approach has created a
surprisingly encyclopedia, which, due to the
"open-content" arrangement, will be freely
available to the public until the end of time. |
|
|
|
|
With the
Net threatening the very foundation of the encyclopedia
industry, it should come as no surprise to find most of
the houshold names well entrenched online. While the're
not all entirely free, they're certainly cheaper and
more up-to-date than their bulky paper equivalents. |
