For those who are interested in my recent column for IABC’s Communication World magazine, it’s about the rewiring of Encyclopedia Britannica –a topic I have previously blogged about.

Article from IABC here. If you’re not a member, get the PDF here. In keeping with the open-source theme of the article, I even found it has been featured here!

Excerpt: “Would you allow someone to add comments to documents on your web site or post an entry to your corporate blog? Britannica’s stand forces us to look at the backroom edit wars that go on in Wikipedia (which Wikipedia calls a “breach of wikiquette”) and the vitriolic rants on your unmoderated blog as confrontation, not collaboration.”
