Yeah. I was about to add that it pretty much has been Tim Berners-Lees vision coming to fruition, but the fact that Wikipedia is centralized has stopped me. But then isn't the Web itself technically 'centralized' on the Internet ? And isn't Wikipedia a great example of pseudonymous strangers (= social decentralization) collaborating with each other ?
- dalbasal 6y agoIs it really that centralized? Citations and footnote links are a pretty important part of what wikipedia is. I mean, I very rarely click through to see source material, but when I do it's noticeable how much more powerful wikipedia is than a standard encyclopedia.
