Where Wikipedia came from

Hey, did you know that Jimmy Wales started Wikipedia as a project within his “titty portal” (as The Register calls it) company back in 2000? And look what it has become now. Someone once told me about pornography having long been the driving force behind development of media technology. Hm, not sure about that, I said. Anyway, the initial project lead and hands-on creator of Wikipedia Larry Sanger recently announced Citizendium, a “fork”, an independent clone of the current Wikipedia with a less hierarchic governing system and a lot of other changes. Let’s see what it will become and where it leads us to. The future is so exciting! 🙂
