The value of Wikipedia is the contributors to it. As sites become easier and easier to contribute to, wikipedia remains the nerdiest, most cryptic, most confusing site to add content to. I have a degree in Computer Science and i find it incredibly difficult to find a way to add content to it. I’m not saying i didn’t figure it out, but it was nowhere near simple.
For this reason (and possibly others) wikipedia contributors are on the decline. Does this mean it will not be the dominant site it is today in the future? I wouldn’t surprised. I could see sites like Mahalo picking up the slack. What do you think?
this is kinda scary. Where are those people going? they don't appear to be going to mahalo. it'd be interesting to see a multi-line graph showing contributions to other services like mahalo and see if it's just a migration rather than an overall dropoff of this type of content creation.
