What the hell is Wiki?

While searching on-line for an answer to a programming question, I stumbled upon Wiki.

"Imagine a world in which every single person is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing."

Wikipedia, (which operates on the aforementioned "Wiki" concept) is an encyclopedia written collaboratively by its readers. Anyone that has a connection to the internet can quickly edit or add-to any part of this on-line information bank.

A massive, evolving database of worldwide mortal awareness - that already has 550,000 entries.

So screw you encyclopedia Britannica and your unabridged shelf-space. In fact, fuck the whole non-fiction section of the library. Make sure you have your hat strapped down and bootlaces tied tight before you click on the link (above) to learn more.
