I think wiki style won't work for summaries (books, movies etc). The key difference is wikipedia is full of factual information (most of it anyway). so it is easy for anyone to edit, fact is a fact, after all.
How do you summarize a book, like say, outliers? It is more subjective, and when the material is subjective, it is better that one person writes it, than many. That is probably why it isn't getting critical mass.
- davidw 17y agoMost business books are more or less easy to summarize - they have a straightforward thesis that can be condensed into a few pages. That's why there are so many of these sites. Granted, some things might be better written with one voice, but I don't think that's why people aren't going there.
