The un’pedia
It was bound to happen.
Wikipedia has become the establishment. Like Google, Wikipedia started small — the bastion of geeks. Now, everyone uses it. College students reference it. Bloggers link to it to define terms. With 1000s of edits a day and over a million English-language pages, Alexa consistently ranks Wikipedia in the top 20 visited sites.
But the real harbinger of establishment-ness has only just emerged. The Uncyclopedia is seriously devoted to fun. Based on the same software as its target, the un’pedia claims to be content-free. Jokes, rumors, baseless theories all find a home here.
They also seem to be testing out some of the new features that the ‘pedia wants to implement, such as verification. Good luck to them. As hard as it is to see someone spoofing the venerable Wikipedia, it was bound to happen.
