September 09, 2005
AT TIPPERARY INSTITUTE we help revise items in wikipedia and World66 because both of these editable communities offer a good experience with social software. Besides, both sites have developed a credible presence while proving the merit of collective publishing.
Traffic to the multilingual network of the wikipedia has grown 154 per cent over the past year, according to research firm Hitwise. It is set to overtake The New York Times on the web, the Drudge Report and other news sites.
Wikipedia recently attracted 22.3 per cent of users searching for information on 'Gaza Strip,' tying the CIA World Factbook. It has drawn five times more US traffic than Google News, Yahoo News or BBC, according to Hitwise.
