Wikipedia, Wired

Wow, I sit here in shock and amazement of how you think you have a trusty source like Wikipedia and to find out how many different groups just go in and change what they want about an article. Different news sources, political parties, ect. Who do we trust with the right information on the internet if everything can be changed so easily! At least we have the ability to see who is making the changes!
After listening to the podcast it really gives you and insite as to what people are doing to better their image. It is away to just magically erase the negative things that may be serrounded by their name. Nicholas does make a good point on the podcast about the wikipedia. He says that it has so much more information with about 90% reliablity. It makes you a little leary. But you do get to see where the changes are being made and it usually points back to the company trying to better their name.
A California Tech Graduate student came up with a way to trace back who is making changes in Wikipedia by tracing the Ip addresses that are being used to change and delete the information. This is a tool that will help out to see what companies and political parties are making changes to alter the way the public views them. This kind of thing truly baffles me. It is amazing what people can do these days. Just when you think you are getting the correct information.
