WikiWorld?

July 27th, 2007

Everyone knows Wikipedia is edited by users around the world, but normally you have to have your changes reviewed by peers before they are made public. In the past few days, I have noticed other websites that allow basically anyone to edit their pages. Looking for an inline search mechanism, I found this page that you can edit by clicking the little edit link underneath the tab at the top. Thinking this was just some crazy kid who thought it was easy and cool, I just forgot about it. Then, today, I was searching the MSDN Library and noticed at the very bottom of their pages there is a Community Content section that anyone with a Windows Live ID can edit.

Crazy.

I guess they figure no one is desperate enough to spam the MSDN Library.
