RED HERRING | Wiki wars: "Fans argue that Wikipedia’s open system taps into the collective wisdom of large groups of people to root out error and minimize bias. While anyone can make a change to any entry, the discussions around those changes are open, said Clay Shirky, an adjunct professor at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program in New York City. “It’s like the security of sidewalks,” said Mr. Shirky. “If everyone shares a little the sidewalk is safe.”"

Wikipedia is just amazing. Given enough eyeballs all bias is evident? I hope that turns out to be true in the long run, but it seems pretty unlikely to me. (Via Dave Winer.)
