"Last Word"-Wikipedia's Multi Million Milestone
Wednesday, September 12, 2007SUZANNE PRATT: And finally tonight, a notable achievement for Wikipedia. The online encyclopedia that allows the public to edit content topped more than two million articles this week. Number two million was about a popular Spanish television show. Wikipedia is the sixth most visited web site, trailing only Google, Microsoft, Yahoo! Time Warner and eBay. Since its start in 2001, more than 100,000 users have edited articles. A computer science professor in California has developed software that flags questionable entries on Wikipedia, Paul and the software turns the text orange if there's a reason to doubt its validity.
KANGAS: I ask you Suzanne, is there no end to innovation?
PRATT: And why orange?
