Wikipedia — The Heavy Metal Umlaut (or How Wikipedia Pages Evolve)

07:14 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack (98) ~ Biz - Internet

Jon Udell (writer for both InfoWorld and O’Reilly Network) talks about the evolution of Wikipedia pages here — erhhh, more specifically he talks about the origin of the heavy metal Umlaut page. Paracelsus Rambles did a little writeup on Jon’s work here.

So how cool is Wikipedia?

P.S. Jon talks about the making of his screencast here. This (you’ll need a flash-enabled browser to view the screencast) is a direct link to Jon’s screencast on the Wikipedia heavy metal umlaut page.

P.S.S. More on screencasting soon.
