Oh, Wiki, You're So Fine

Filed under: Pick of the Issue   Tagged: ,

Here's Rob Walker, in Murketing mode, on the very nicely written Wikipedia piece from last week's issue. Which, as you know, is for me still this week's issue. I just got my renewal notice (yes, I too pay for The New Yorker, but sometimes I get free pizza and a much-needed cold beer, so thanks, nice people!), and I think it's finally time to give up and have my subscription transfered to my office in Manhattan, just so I can actually see the magazine in a timely fashion. Which doesn't mean I'll give up the fight for the four-fifths of New York City that can't read The New Yorker till Wednesday or Thursday. No sir!

Meanwhile, in the Boston Phoenix, a preview of Wikimania 2006.
