'But then you could say something similar about The Inquirer.'
I haven't laughed so hard in ages.

Just kidding

I like Inquirer. It may not be more reliable than the nerd down the research lab but it has put up good news from time to time. After that, you’re probably going to have to use a bit of common sense and find second sources to be confident, but it should get better over time as topics are refined and writers get better.

Counter Thrust

That's what this is.

Anyone remember a little story from Wikipedia founder about starting a wikiSearch?

Wikipedia has its flaws, but even with them, it's a whole lot better than Britannica or Encarta -- haven't heard much about them lately, have you?

I think the idea of a WikiSearch scared the hell out of Google -- so this is their counterthrust, a "Googlepedia". Perhaps they will quietly drop the idea if the WIkipedia guy quietly drops wikisearch...
