Comments on: Google killed DMOZ; Will Googlepedia take down Wikipedia? http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2005/10/09/google-killed-dmoz-will-googlepedia-take-down-wikipedia/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea. Fri, 05 Sep 2008 05:39:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Barry M.

The Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is a worthless sh** and should be banned altogether from the internet, because it is misguiding people, especially the young ones, that believe it to be a reliable source - when the actually fact is that most if it’s stuff is stolen from other reliable encyclopedias such as the Britannica…

My opinion is that ignorance kids and hackers, that were not allowed to write into other reliable and recognized sources such as the Britannica, - are now making the Wikipedia; but what a mess they are making!

Thank you.

What I had in mind as <em>Googlepedia</em> was an encyclopedic source of knowledge that was constructed and maintained automatically. When I made this post I thought I was making up the name , but that term has been used for the result of a proposal that Google made last year (link) to host Wikideida.

My belief stems from three primary elements 1. the overall user momentum it has, 2. the ease of editing by anyone (versus submitting a site and waiting a year to see if included) and 3 the overall content license which allows any body or any site to use the content. To that matter I've put together a RSS Feed for Wikipedia under the GNU. The feed works for every single Wikipedia topic so this means I have more than 730,000 high quality RSS feeds available. The feed is hosted and cached on the servers at BlinkBits which makes the Wikipedia Servers very happy. * Here is the url format: http://www.blinkbits.com/rssfeeds/wikipedia.php?w=Topic_name Finally, I don't think google will replace it and face the backlash of Google is Big Brother.
