Wikipedia Blackout
Blackout
For 24-hours Wikipedia in English will shut-down. How horrible and exciting. Of course I am going to feel really at a loss as Wednesday I will have a lot of time that I would normally have contributed to the pages. I'm trying now to get a blog done for She Thought Blog that will focus on Skeptical Women on Wikipedia.
If you haven't already heard about this shut-down of one of the most powerful sites on the Internet, here is a link to their rationale. http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia_anti-SOPA_blackout
I'm not getting involved in the politics, but hope it brings awareness to the importance of Wikipedia and forces people to think about how often they refer to the site in a given 24-hours. I'm looking forward to the follow-up in the media.
