Wikipedia Got Infected With The Swine Influenza Virus!
After the heavy media coverage of the recent Swine Influenza (a.k.a Swine flu) outbreak, I wanted to know what this hall thing all about, so I googled Swine Flu hoping to find a Wikipedia article, and the third result was a what I wanted.
So, while checking the article I was impressed because it was so thorough and detailed (for one, it includes 60+ references) considering the freshness of the exploit of the virus, not to mention that articles about the virus are covered in other 54 languages, while the Mexican government announced it about a week ago!, I guess we can call this an infection :)
This reflects the popularity of Wikipedia and the level of public awareness in it’s importance as an information source which introduces unknown concepts/things to readers.
Go Wikipedia! ( and get better soon :) )
