Wikipedia - What did you expect for free?
This entry was posted on 05-11-2007 and is filed under uncategorized.
I was making an adjustment to the PacMan Google Gadget on the main pages, when something I had written about it struck me a notable. It was, "What did you expect for free?" Wikipedia is free knowledge, though not absolutely free, close enough. It's information you don't have to pay for. As I have alluded to before, what free things are better than things you have to pay for? Some examples are free health care and free education. Are they better than the kind you have to pay for?
Lately, traffic has just been amazing. The chart here does overstate traffic though, as when you pull a page from the server, it generates multiple requests, including one request for each image pulled. As I do have a lot of Bomis Babes on my pages, you could divide the results below, which are for the main site and not the blog, by 10. Also noted is that May is a partial month.
I have been working on getting more hits, trying to establish some links with some of the generally anti-Wiki sites. Of course
the mother of all links, would be one from Wikipedia itself. Since I spend most of my time on Wikipedia's double secret probation, I am not in any position to add one. I do want to maintain my editing privileges, as there are a few areas I like writing about. Does anyone have any ideas?
