  • When Ask.com is Better Than Google
  • Google Local in Universal Search
  • Google’s Subdomain Hell
    • ]]>     A lot of people hate Wikipedia. The information on Wikipedia is easily manipulated and is often inaccurate.

    I’ve been using Wikipedia and Mediawiki a lot lately, and it’s actually a great site despite its serious flaws.

    • The sharing of Mediawiki software is a great contribution to the Web
    • Many great GFDL and public domain images for you to reuse
    • Lots of GFDL text content
    • It is good as a source of ideas for content

    Google puts too much weight on Wikipedia in the SERPs, and a lot of the content on Wikipedia is seriously inaccurate, but overall it’s a great site.
