Wikipedia Founder Introduces Wiki Magazine Sites

KingJawa writes "Wikipedia blew away Encyclopedia Brittanica, but can the model be used to upset the magazine industry? Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, thinks so. His company, Wikia, today announced three open-source magazine-style sites where users can write about news, opinion and gossip — one magazine wiki each for politics, entertainment, and local interests. Each open-source magazine hands total editorial control to the readers, allowing them to read, write, edit, and dictate the editorial feel for each topic."

Oh dear

Wikipedia "blew away" "Encyclopedia Brittanica"? Not only
do you not know what you're talking about, you don't know
how to spell it. What an utterly asinine statement.
