Quick Ideas: Accapedia

August 31, 2007 in ideas, misc, wikipedia by JDA | 4 comments

My problem with wikipedia is not that anyone can edit it, it’s that I don’t know who edited it (most of the time). My proposed solution - Accapedia. Same basic concept except: the editors are identified by more than an IP address, you must have a .edu email address or be invited to be a part of the site (invite is probably better), you have a profile that demonstrates why you are an authority in this area, and you include a reputation system. Sort of Wikipedia with a social aspect, and less anonymity.

Thoughts?

Sanger is to Wales as… Calacanis is to Rose

My two cents on Wikipeda co-founder (and my former ethics professor) Larry Sanger getting back in to the web:

1. It reminds me a lot of Netscape - some backwards thinking in what should be a freely controlled space.
2. I distinctly remember one class in which Sanger said that he left Wikipedia because there was no money in it - I expect this to have more of a business purpose.

Side Note: Why isn’t anyone talking about Rojo being offline? - Hope it’s back soon, I’m sure it has something to do with the six apart acquisition.
