One prediction I got right: user-generated content in Britannica

I predicted in April that Britannica would add user-generated content.

Now it is doing so, according to Wired.

    Interesting – the model is similar to that of Citizendium, the Wikipedia offshoot, or indeed Nupedia, its original incarnation. The problem is that this kind of editing is very slow and laborious as it has to jump through all these formalities – it took six months just to produce two articles generated this way on Nupedia. I wonder how much user-generated stuff will actually make its way there.
