wiki

On a day to day basis, there are so many things that we use a lot and yet we undermine or do not appreciate the beauty of those things. We all know that the best search engine is The MOTHER “Google”; I call it so, because they say that if it is not in Google, it does even exits. [:P] Anyways I did not start here to emphasize the importance of Google which is very well known, but to talk about Wikipedia.

It’s considered as one of the best free encyclopedia. Any Google search I make, and wiki pages lie on the top of the list. An online editable encyclopedia, like everyone else I questioned if it could be really that authenticated. And after I have used and read how the editable process goes by and the voluntary work that so many people do, I appreciate it even more now. The idea to make an encyclopedia available so easy is laudable. I was surprised to read about the number of articles that it carries, the different languages that it can be translate, the easy way to edit, the manner in which an edit will be approved, the history page which helps to track the editing and the neutrality that the website maintains in its contents. Any topic that you want, you do a wiki search and that will give you an idea of what it is, what it can do and so on. All are pretty appreciable. I am looking forward to see the wiki books very soon.
