But is Wikipedia the Answer? , Andrew Goodman, Traffick.com (May 21)
Andrew Goodman has a draft of a section of a forthcoming booking in his blog - some musings about whether user-generated content such as we saw with Open Directory Project and on which Wikis depent will really work as a reliable search source.
Here's a sample: "The ODP came under criticism for many of the same reasons Wikipedia is maligned in some quarters today: a lack of “professional” editorial quality control. The lack of transparency of site submission procedures to the website-owning public, and the huge variations in the degrees of disclosure of editors’ biographical information meant, for me, that this so-called open directory was far from it"
Are ranking algorithms better?
