Here's a great posting from Tim Spalding, the author of Librarything, slamming Wikipedia by citing this great post by Karen Schneider, talking about what a homophobe Orson Scott Card is, and how it just doesn't get mentioned on Wikipedia.
Interesting stuff. And have I mentioned that I love librarian blogs?
I remember talking with a very young girlfriend who has a slacker boyfriend. "He's networking all the time," she said. "He's always getting into huge arguments on Wikipedia about stuff that he's written."
Oh dear.
I adore LibraryThing's social information model. Some of the coolest cross-networking I've ever seen. Can give Amazon a run for it's money. Should be interesting to see where it goes.
