Wikipedia is really cool. We talked about it in class yesterday and that's the main reason why I'm writing this. I've used this helpful tool for a number of years. It has been especially useful in writing papers. It has helped me do research for tons of homework, but I also use it daily to look up facts about many of my favorite musicians and various historical figures. I was looking up the different artists who performed in George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh when I realized that this would be a good subject to write my daily blog about. This is one of the facets of citizen media that has been the most helpful to me in academics and leisure. I think it is fascinating that such an eclectic site can be run by non-experts. I realize that it is not always perfect, but it does a great job in providing many people with accurate information.
peace
