I love using wikipedia to check some quick information about something I do not understand, or even to get a quick background on an assignment, but a more reliable source is great news.

Now each time you search on Google, if there is a relevant EB content then it would be on the first page of Google results. - Kunal Sen (Britannica)Kunal Senwww.britannica.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317659032924518627.post-41130707007248750442008-04-23T16:55:00.000-04:002008-04-23T16:55:00.000-04:00Good news, but frankly I've always wondered if EB's former popularity over other sources was due to Anglophilia over the "Britanica" name -- although misplaced, as it's been edited and published in America since the 1930s.Jonathan Badgerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04921990886076027719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317659032924518627.post-20728353028418277092008-04-23T12:53:00.000-04:002008-04-23T12:53:00.000-04:00That is just so cool.
