Larry Sanger on Wikipedia and World

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-man-himself dept.

Phoe6 writes "MIT Tech Review is running an article on Larry Sanger, an epistemologist and the co-creator of Wikipedia. It is very interesting to know his views on Wikipedia. He says, 'To build a public encyclopedia, you don't need faith in the possibility of knowledge, What you have to have faith in is human beings being able to work together.'"

    Festive Greetings!

    Wiki this, Wiki that, I still believe that Everything2 is the better concept, more fun and is suffering from less editorial wrangling. It's also a much more fun place to hang out, has more off beat entries and rewards its users for good content.

    Oh yes, did I mention that it also has a "sumbit" button?

    So, you poor Wikipedians, finish your sorry library project and create something much more unique.

    Cheers, and happy impeaching of Bush.
