On Truth, Wikijustice and the Emergence of Digital Maoism

What does Truth mean in the age of Wikipedia? Simson Garfinkel explains in this extremely interesting article in MIT's Technology Review.

I too was recently wondering how Wikipedia is a site referred by every second person I come across but what's the evidence that all of it is genuine when it is a set of info provided by people like you and me!
But the review by this Simson Garfinkel person is pretty much acceptable.

P.S.- is it just me or does this name actually sound familiar..
"I am a rock"
Simon and Garfunkel kill!

Probably not. Maybe he stumbled upon it just the way I did.
