Wikipedia and Social Media/Networking

This was by far the most enjoyable reading assignment that we have had this semester. It was very informative and easy to understand. The Wikipedia article was information that I had already known but represented in formal expression. I feel as though it broke down how the website was able to grow as well as why it has become so popular. Wikipedia basically gave everyday aspiring writers and historians a chance to voice their opinion on the subject they were most interested in. Of course in the beginning it was very subjective, but the system created to avoid invaluable information gave it the ability to become a powerful web encyclopedia with facts on almost everything under the sun. I only wish the article could have been a bit shorter. The web videos were superb very informative and straight to the point in everyday language that was easy to comprehend. If only that guy could teach college math! Looking forward to next class.
