    They already did this on House in season one: Fidelity

    'Greg Barton', and not 'Greg "Farton" Barton' as your schoolmates used to call you.

    Watch out, I might have to go Greg Barton on your ass.

  3. What the galactic brainspawn would say: by leoxx · · Score: 1 · on The Home Library Problem Solved

    Pathetic human race. Arranging their knowledge by category just made it easier to absorb. Dewey, you fool! Your decimal system has played right into my hands! Ha ha ha ha!

    As a result, the masses are moving toward what they know: TV shows, pop culture, and fictional universe wikis. The Lyric wiki is 6th on the http://wikindex.com/, and the TV wiki is 13th overall. IME, TVIV is less complete and up to date than Wikipedia itself. Compare the articles on last week's episode of House on Wikipedia and TVIV. As for the Lyric Wiki... I'd be surprised if they actually have permission to post the lyrics to popular songs. Meanwhile, Wikipedia manages some very detailed articles on popular songs without including the lyrics themselves. (That song happens to be on the front page of Lyrics wiki at the moment.)
  5. people's knowledge is shallow by davejenkins · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Citizendium After One Year

    The problem with citizendium is the basic premise that the masses aren't "qualified" to contribute. This is what made the wikipedia so much fun-- all of us dilletantes had a place to put in our smattering of knolwedge about history, geography, or punk rock. But only a minority of the population graduates college, and an even smaller minority have the advanced degree in place to be a qualified 'authority' to speak authoritatively on a given subject. Citizendium depends on this minority, and frankly wikipedia is migrating the same direction.

    As a result, the masses are moving toward what they know: TV shows, pop culture, and fictional universe wikis. The Lyric wiki is 6th on the http://wikindex.com/, and the TV wiki is 13th overall. World of Warcraft, Star Trek, and Battlesar Galactica are bigger than many non-european language wikipediae.

    People go where they feel smart. When citizendium makes things tough, only the tough will remain.

  6. TV Tome Replacement by RaboKrabekian · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Wikipedia Founder Working on User-Powered Search

    TV Tome really was a fantastic site. A lot of the users that contributed there went over to a great TV wiki that sprung up after TV tome was sold, http://tviv.org/

  7. Why not an open web service? by jacoplane · · Score: 1 · on Yahoo! Plans to Connect Services With Tivo

    I'm wish there was some sort of open standard for this kind of thing. Personally, I don't like to use Yahoo (Using http://www.tviv.org/ ) and I think I should be able to use any indexing service I like. Should be easy for Tivo to create some simple web service.
