    wikipedia sillyness

    A disgusting ranking for an industry that is so competitive.

    Google 'fire insurance' (wordtracker score 756).

    Make sure you click on the top result to see the content wikipedia has on the subject.

    I find it amazing how google can even consider giving this site an advantage. It can be edited by any Joe Blogs and I'm starting to see that a lot of the information published is incorrect anyway.

    But when it redirects to a different subject, just how does the big G explain that?
    Don't you just love free internet games ?

    Google should buy Wikipedia & make it a tab at the top like what DMOZ used to be.

    Web publishers should get a fund together, everyone contributes what they can... let it grow into the millions, then buy wikipedia just to take it offline .

    That would be a great move, actually. I have noticed some mis-information on WikiPedia, but the worst is the horrible editing. A lot of it is just basic grammar too.
