The videos are interesting, even though, the video on “social networking in plain English” is very simple. The reading on Wikipedia is incredible. I like reading and absorbing information from Wikipedia (I have to admit that I can’t help it, even when I know that it not a trustworthy source of information as anybody can participate and add information to it). The points cleared out by the article, “The Charms of Wikipedia” about how people watch over the information. They edit it, check it, add and even delete information from it everyday, which takes lots of time and commitment. Also, there are people who save information from deletion and frequently updating it. A large credit goes to the people who are watching over the information and the founders of Wikipedia. People can find information about almost anything on it and personally, I am addicted to it. Once, I start reading, I can’t stop. My advice is to read from it but also try to relate the information from other sources, just in case if you want to check the authenticity of the information.
