Randell p. wikipedia

The reading by Nicholson Baker titled “The Charms of Wikipedia” is the funniest reading I’ve read in a long time. From the way the author writes down to the Wikipedia page alterations, it makes this reading unbelievably enjoyable. Baker makes a valid point on the success of websites in today’s world. I agree with his statement that online websites should have an addicting element to keep active users coming back. Now I wouldn’t sit and play watchdog on a page I have edited just because it is too easy for it to be changed and spammed by another bored and anonymous user.  While Wikipedia is a questionable source, it does provide useful information about many different topics. After all, it is still an encyclopedia.
