Wikipedia as breaking news
A fascinating thing just happened. As I write this, Ben and I are attending a talk at OLS with our laptops, more on OLS later. He pointed out a CNN story about some more bombings in London. Instead of heading to the usual news sources I tried Wikipedia’s current events section and found a stunningly thorough description of events:

Incredible. Check out the “History” tab at the top of the page and look at the frequence at which updates were made to the content.
