Yahoo Answers: soon to surpass Wikipedia as the premiere example of how "the wisdom of crowds" is not obsoleting the Mackaysian traditionalist approach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_Popular_Delusions_and_the_Madness_of_Crowds).
I find Wikipedia about a billion times more useful than YA. Since YA is at zero, though, that is probably not saying much.
Those who know how to use Wikipedia can safely obtain vast amounts of information from it. It is not a news site. It is not a forum for information up for debate. Sadly, I'm sure many people use Wikipedia as just that.
