Missing in Action

Wow
I really haven't blogged in a loong time now, have i?

Here's an interesting little fact. Did you know that wikipedia is dominated by males! 80% contributions are by men. Perhaps its because mostly men are geeks and the data addition interface is rather intimidating for someone who doesn't know tags/coding languages etc.

I was shocked to learn the above. Its interesting, I believe they get a lot of readers because of the credibility that a very intelligent name fetches them - Encyclopedia = Wikipedia...gives it an immediate sense of authority, in my mind at least, which would not have been there had the name been something else say wikiInformation.

Furthermore, i learned about wikichix -- a website opened in reaction to the male domination of wikipedia. This i find really strange!!!

Khair i will learn more about this and report soon enough :)
