Wikipedia is growing

Will Richardson wrote the following re: Wikipedia -

"The whole concept of Wikipedia still gives me chills sometimes,
especially when I see new representations of the collaborative power
behind it. I just think it's such an inspirational accomplishment, and,
even though I know this sounds really, really weird, in some ways I
think Wikipedia represents a glimmer of hope for a world that in many
other ways I see heading for some dark days. That in itself sounds
pretty depressing...

Anyway, via Steve Cohen comes this very cool real-time update log of
Wikipedia. You can see the line for each edit in Wikipedia as it's
made. In the few moments it's taken to create this post, over 80 edits
have been made about everything from the Pakistani Coast Guard to
Keropok (the most visible fried snack in Terengganu) to Mog (a playable
character from the Squaresoft game Final Fantasy VI...Huh?) How cool is
that? And how cool is it that just in these last 15 minutes, dozens if
not hundreds of people have felt compelled to add what they know to
this "compendium of all human knowledge."

And I also think it's cool that Steve Jobs called Wikipedia one of the
most accurate encyclopedias in the world. That probably won't convince
my librarians, but it can't hurt..."
