Watching Wikipedia Correct Itself

By The Daily Dish

Nov 1 2007, 2:00 AM ET

A new feature allows you to watch in real time as Wikipedia evolves around the globe. One blogger response:

While I watched for several minutes, someone in India edited an entry on Ghandi, then someone else in the UK edited a page on Puerto Ricans living in the United States, and some very determined person in Mississippi, US, repeatedly edited a page about a British database computer programmer called Edgar F. Codd.

Watching paint dry has nothing on it.
