Wikipedia is Awesome

Wikipedia.  Have you ever Wikipedia-ed Wikipedia?  It has its own very lengthy entry.  After publishing a couple of links to Wikipedia, I felt compelled to post on exactly how great it is and why.

I think that free access to information is an absolute prerequisite for democracy and freedom.  I also believe that the more information and intellectual property that is out in the public domain, the better.  On both of these fronts, Wikipedia is providing a tremendously valuable service.

Keep in mind that if it weren't for the apparent altruism of the founders, Wikipedia could be a very profitable enterprise.
