Wikipedia is in the news again because of Mr Wales public breakup with is girlfriend. This has spawned many new articles about Wikipedia that I think are quite interesting and worth sharing.

Yet Another Reason We Should Be Teaching, Not Blocking, Wikipedia

At Redmond, Wikipedia becomes Micropedia

And my personal favorite, Agencies Share Information By Taking a Page From Wikipedia. It is great to see the government at least trying to be more efficient by using technology that enabes people to do so.

With the wiki, federal agencies compiled a database of 13,496 earmarks in 10 weeks. In the old days, it would have taken six months to get the information to the OMB.

“For 48 hours, starting at midnight Eastern standard time on March 6, 2008, many student voices will be collected in the name of those suffering in Darfur. Be sure that your voice is among them.”

The blog.

I definitely should have posted this when he started his series but its better late than never! The latest video on Incentives and Recognition is very good. I especially like where he talks about building wiki use into people’s job descriptions and using wikis to capture people’s tacit knowledge so that it doesn’t walk out the door when they (inevitably) do.

For some reason I cant get the embedded video to work so here is the link to the series.
