Speaker: Jason Scott Wikipedia, the "Free Encyclopedia that Anyone Can Edit" is now one of the top 20 websites on the Internet, and increasingly a primary source of information for many thousands of users every day. It also contains a number of fatal flaws in its architecture that it is slowly fixing through a number of fundamental changes being implemented each month. In this way, Wikipedia’s publically-editable, worldwide-read, and often-relied-upon experiment can serve as an experimental hotbox, a warning to others. Jason Scott, historian and information hoarder, talks quickly through Wikipedia's history, some of its flaws, and examples of how people are exploiting it to their own ends on a daily basis. Step lively; we're going in deep. For more information visit: bit.ly To download the video visit: bit.ly
