biographicon = social wikipedia

never seen a non-famous/notable person on wikipedia? thats because they are flagged for deletion right away. the average person cant post a biography about their mundane life on a website that is supposed to be an "academic" resource of sorts. well a wiki-style social network called biographicon has sprung up, claiming that anyone is worthy of a wikipage.

this made me think. think of all the potential vandalism and slander that will be witnessed.

we see the ability of the web 2.0 to be so interactive. could there be some regrets? do you want your personal profiles to be interactive? maybe its gone to far, maybe its become too personal.

you get a glimpse of a profile here
