Wikipedia : 1 Million Articles

Wikipedia : 1 Million Articles 09/20/2004 07:07 PM
News gurus The Inquirer note that online encyclopaedia, Wikipedia, has now over a million pages of content.

Formed just under 3 years ago, the site has exploded in content and usefulness. With just 200,000 pages as of January this year, over the last 9 months they've seen a five fold increase and a few server pains to boot. It's unique method of content creation has also been key to it's success. Users submit data and build up subjects, often with startling levels of detail. Data can then be edited / updated by other users as time goes on, keeping content fresh and up to date.

Although the site has enjoyed much success in the technology community due to it's free / GPL friendly nature, traditional educational establishments have been urged not to use the site, with some groups suggesting that it is "un-authoritative". Indeed, one techie went on to test exactly how good Wikipedia users were at weeding out false information: the results were poor, with none of the changes being noticed.

Sadly, although Wikipedia list a reference for The Inquirer, the site doesn't feature yours truly - Neowin. A page placed on the site today was hours later marked for deletion; better check it soon, as it might not be there tomorrow.

Cory Doctorow: The free/open Wikipedia encyclopedia project just posted its 1,000,000th article.

The Wikimedia Foundation announced today the creation of the one millionth article in Wikipedia, its project to create a free, open-content, online encyclopedia (Wikipedia.org (http://en.wikipedia.org)). Started in January 2001, Wikipedia is currently both the world's largest encyclopedia and its fastest-growing, with articles under active development in over 100 languages. Nearly 2,500 new articles are added to Wikipedia each day, along with ten times that number of updates to existing articles.

iPass Releases Press Release with
McDonald's Name in It

iPass Releases Press Release with
McDonald's Name in It 11/10/2003 10:53 PM
McDonald's will have its networks certified as Enterprise Ready by iPass: Now the ostensible purpose of this announcement is that McDonald's restaurants with Wi-Fi access will be available to customers on the iPass collective network, which comprises over 2,000 hotspots and 400,000 users across the companies they serve. But read a little closer and you find that the three networks that McDonald's currently uses to run its Wi-Fi service -- Wayport, Cometa, and Toshiba -- are either already certified or soon to be. So what's the news here? Two pieces of news, really. First, McDonald's is making a corporate-level commitment to iPass, which means that even if they use other networks, they'll ostensibly make sure that other operators are or will be certified. Second, McDonald's gave iPass permission to use its name in a press release, which can't hurt on the credibility side. A little extra news at the end notes that McDonald's in China will also become iPass Enterprise Ready. Because all iPass customers have a directory of hotspots that they are really required to use if they are to use hotspots at all -- the software can be set to only allow access to hotspots on iPass's list -- this provides McDonald's with more of those business bodies they want....

Motorola Officially Announces MPx220:
Leaked Press Releases Do Come True

Motorola Officially Announces MPx220:
Leaked Press Releases Do Come True 06/30/2004 02:36 PM

So I guess I should probably mention that Motorola finally officially announced the MPx220, right? I mean, there might be something that we didn't already know about it, even though we already knew it was going to be a quad-band, Bluetooth-enabled, 1.3-megapixel camera-having, Windows Mobile 2003-running clamshell. How about the fact that the MPx220 has 44 tiny divots on its front cover? Needed a high resolution image for that, didn't you?

I'm not trying to be cynical, though; it looks really nice. Nice enough, in fact, to perhaps pick up while we wait for the MPx300 to arrive.

Meta-tags, or, the Dublin Meta Core

Meta-tags, or, the Dublin Meta Core 03/17/2005 03:00 AM
As we sort through tags, it'd often be useful to know who created a particular tag. And when. And in which application. And probably other stuff also. While some apps remember who created which tag (e.g., Flickr), as we begin to aggregate tags, we could use a standard way to express this tagging metadata...a Dublin Core not for objects but for tags attached to objects. If this were to happen, it's very likely to come from the apps that benefit from having standardized tag metadata. The most obvious suspects are the search engines. (Hmm. I may be re-having Mary Hodder's...
