Tools for Strategists: Wikipedia
Posted By Rob Millard - 0 Comments -
At the beginning of March, Wikipedia published its millionth article in English. Or, rather, a Wikipedia reader somewhere on planet earth did. By today, it had climbed further to 1,024,000+ articles. Readers of my blog will have noticed that I use it quite frequently as a reference for things in my postings that may need explanation.
Is it accurate? How accurate can something that is compiled by the public at large be? Surprisingly so, actually. A recent study published in Nature put it in more or less the same ballpark here as Encyclopaedia Brittanica!
Bottom line: Wikipedia is an invaluable resource for strategists, managers, lawyers, accountants and people looking for a recipe to prepare huitlacoche. Thanks to Seth Godin for alerting me to the existence of this as-yet-untried delicacy (corn smut) on his blog posting today, Fungus (which has a parable in it about people trying new things, or not!)
Comments, as always, are most welcome. Please post below.
