Hewlett Foundation ponies up cash for Wikipedia
Register
Wikipedia is in no position to turn down cash from anyone considering that Wikimedia is dedicated to open source and open content and relies on the kindness of strangers for not only its content but also for the money to keep the Wikipedia project and numerous related projects afloat. But they must have been hoping for more help from the Hewlett Foundation especially when you consider that Hewlett and his partner Dave Packard were engineers from Stanford University created the original Silicon Valley IT startup and had a lifelong dedication to education and the dissemination of news and information.

Speak up for anonymity
Baltimore Sun
A guy in Asia can spend his evening trashing a Canadian woman’s home movies; students can spread malicious rumors about classmates for the world to see; and "editors" can add all manner of falsehoods to Mohandas Gandhi’s Wikipedia page just for kicks. In most cases these ne’er-do-wells write vitriolic comments and blog posts anonymously there are a few fighting words and the dustup dies down with minimal damage.

Stockholm Syndrome and Captive Jaycee Lee Dugard
National Ledger
***”Instead of hating the person who has abducted them they come to empathize with them and view the outside world as the enemy. ” Before this week’s stunning casual walk into a police station to reveal exactly who she was “Jaycee Lee Dugard was last seen as she walked to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe California on June 10 1991″ reports the FBI. The Nevada Appeal notes in a report on the question of if Dugard possibly suffered from Stockholm syndrome and cites “a number of articles by the Federal Bureau of Investigation the syndrome was first observed in Stockholm Sweden in 1973 when robbers held four bank workers in a vault for more than five days. When police finally tried to rescue them several resisted and later refused to testify at the robbers’ trials.

The curious appeal of miscellanea
Boston Globe
And while the newspapers are on their way to financial ruin it’s not because people don’t want information. It is because information has proliferated like Weimar bank notes with everyone shoveling it into wheelbarrows till the old economic arrangements have collapsed. There are 3 million English-language entries on Wikipeda according to the Wikipedia entry on Wikipedia. Yet professionally compiled books of facts are thriving. In 2003 a petite meticulously designed volume titled “Schott’s riginal Miscellany” arrived in the United States from Britain – listing Earth’s atmospheric layers next to sumo weight classes diagramming palmistry lines and the method of tying a bow tie. The “riginal” of the title was part of author Ben Schott’s mock-archaic tone but it also turned out to be a prophecy. “There’s more and more of them every year” said Megan Sullivan the head buyer at the Harvard Book Store.

After Microsoft-Yahoo Deal SE Isn’t Just About Google Anymore
AdAge.com
Position six on Google may mean users have to scroll down to see the result; on Bing users have to click to the second page. “If you are not coming up in the top five [search results] for the very generic terms you are not getting page-one exposure which means you are losing out on 70% to 80% of searchers” said Collin Cornwell VP of natural search at iCrossing. That’s a tough challenge for marketers given that one of the top spots is generally dominated by Wikipedia leaving really only four slots to make an impression. r consider the plight of a movie marketer optimizing a film’s lead actor: the top three results are dominated by IMDb Wikipedia and the actor’s “official” site — leaving only two available. The upside of having results categorized is there’s an opportunity for aggressive marketers to have more than one listing on a page for non-branded queries — not including whatever paid keyword listings the marketer may or may not be buying. For example a search for “heart rate monitor” might pull up the website of manufacturer Polar USA in the first five organic search results and it might also pull up under the video category a Polar demo of how to use a heart rate monitor. Bing also offers different placements for photos and video which means opportunities for marketers that produce both.

Wikipedia grows up
Kansas City Star
Abouhalkah Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnistWikipedia is growing up now that it’s going to put a little more power in the hands of editors. At least that’s one way of looking at what’s happening with the popular online encyclopedia. It’s trusted by many for its up-to-date information — and distrusted by millions more because of its reliance on multiple authors who may or may not know what they are writing about. Now Wikipedia officials say they will rely on editors — essentially frequent to semi-frequent contributors to the encyclopedia — to keep false information off of certain pages. The AP reports: “The idea is to block the kind of high-profile vandalism that has marred the pages of some famous people.

Free-to-edit Wikipedia appoints ‘volunteer editors’ to vet changes …
Daily Mail
Wikipedia was set up eight years ago as a free encyclopedia built on the work of volunteers. All contributors had the power to edit improve and update thecontent and it has become one of the top ten internet sites with morethan 13million entries. But well-publicised hoaxes have forced theWikimedia Foundation the nonprofit Californian body that runs thesite to curb its freewheeling ethos. They hope the switch to volunteer editors will curb malicioustampering and reduce the risk of lawsuits. Wikipedia tried to clampdown on the problem in 2005 by banning anonymous users from creatingentries. Experts said the latest change was much more significant and ‘crosses a psychological Rubicon’.

Indeed a new pattern of consumption was validated in the confusing minutes that followed the first reports of Jacko’s death: Users shared; they searched and they clicked on Wikipedia…. The Wikipedia page on Michael Jackson is not very pretty to look at but it has more blue hyperlinks than black type. Forget the “wiki” method of community updating the key to Wikipedia’s success is that its pages are designed to catch traffic provide key information and then send users on their way to deeper engagement on the subjects they’re interested in.

Sixteeen Candles won almost unanimous praise when it was released in 1984 due in no small part to its more realistic depiction of high school life which stood in stark contrast to the Porky’s-inspired comedies being made at the time according to Wikipedia.

Gawking at the Washington Post
Huffington Post
So: how can Washington Post compete against Gawker’s 10x content output advantage and probably 40x cost advantage? Answer: they can’t if they compete in creating the same kinds of content. Question: do you think the Washington Post piece was worth 10 times more to you as a reader than the Gawker piece was? Was it worth 40 times more to you as a reader? Wikipedia vs. BritannicaSee for instance Britannica’s original response to Wikipedia. Wikipedia offered basic general information easily for free usually with links out to more substantial info. Whether or not Wikipedia is “as good as” Britannica matters not a whit to its millions of readers: it is “good enough” for them meaning that the sale value of “just providing basic general information” got a lot closer to zero all of a sudden. I’m not sure how Britannica is doing these days but if it is to survive it has to innovate in ways that deliver more value than “just providing basic general information. ” And its in that added value where the new business opportunities lie (and I don’t claim to know the answers for Britannica).
