Google hosting the ‘Pedia?
Whoa!Google has apparently made an offer to host several Wikimedia projects!
This could help solve many of Wikipedia‘s bandwidth and server issues, while still allowing editorial independence (which has never really been a problem anyway since Anybody Can Edit Wikipedia). And that announcement states pretty unambiguously that there’s no inducement to advertise, though I can’t help but imagine a “Sponsored by Google” or “Hosted by Google” image or blurb on every page. (As long as it’s small, I have no problem with that.)
But still, this is kind of out of left field… I’m definitely keeping an eye on this one.
