Wiki Becomes a Way of Life
Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, has 490,000 articles -- in English alone. All together, including its French, German, Italian, Chinese, Spanish and many other versions, it has well over 1.3 million entries.

I install Firefox on about 5 computers per week personally for friends and customers and whoever I talk to. The one extension I set up for everyone is the Wikipedia search extension. I like Wike so much that I have named my own blog after it -- homeschoolpedia -- Just couldn't resist!
