Facebooking Wikipedia: Combining Social Networking with Social Information

By now, you know what Facebook is. You should know what Wikipedia is as well. If not, this blog is probably not the best place to start.

For the bulk of readers who do know about these Internet juggernauts, imagine a combination of the two. Take Wikipedia, add profiles, and you have the socialpedia concept. It’s what Wikipedia man Jimmy Wales is trying to do. That’s the speculation… human generated content, indexing, the works, mixed with profiles and social interaction and suddenly you have… something.

DMOZ?

Mahalo?

Wikifacepediabook?

Who knows for sure? We’ll all know soon enough. Check out the speculation on this article from Mashable that answers some questions while posing more about something that has been called Google’s worst nightmare by Fast Company.
