{{cquote|I am a long-active entrepreneur in the Internet industry. I'm currently the "RFC Series Editor" - the lead editor in the technical body that creates the standards that make up the Internet. I find Wikipedia invaluable in that work, and in my other businesses. It has fundamentally changed the way I work and learn. I believe it is a major contributor to the increase in the speed of knowledge formation for people worldwide - that is, how they learn to navigate and manage their work and lives. It, and you, are quite astonishing. Thank you Wikipedia. }} |

{{cquote|Before Wikipedia, I would read news outside my area of expertice, but usually didn't understand it. I didn't have the time to read up or Google everything that was disscussed and parse through a dozen usually biased hits from newspapers or randon websites. Now I can quickly understand almost any news article in any field, be it politics, economics, science, you name it. I love the objectiveness of Wikipedia. Usually there is no slant. Wikipedia is really the only site I can rely on to get the skinny on anything without having to wade through the irrelvant side-rants on other sites search engines like Google return. I admit, its ironic, but thanks to this encyclopedia I am up on the latest news. Thanks! }} |
