It's been around a while, but I still use it weekly. I'm talkin bout Wikipedia (and Wikitionary). I discovered it my senior year of college during my anthropology capstone class. It was great for finding out how to pronouce that previously unknown African country (like Eritrea) or what that weird accronym stood for (like MDRTB- Multiple Drug Resistant Tuberculosis). I started remembering all this thanks to a 30 Rock rerun (Jenna tried to learn about Janis Joplin using Wikipedia). The show did a nice job of illustrating the downside of Wikipedia (anyone can add to definitions, even the un or ill informed). I still love Wikipedia, but researcher beware. This was no problem in college (five sources for a paper and everything annotated) but the fact is foggier in the real world. Food for thought,
