Last week in London I was talking about how I’ve started skipping Google searches and using Wikipedia instead.
I said: “If I want to know ‘anything’ about ‘anything’ I use Google. But if I want to know ’something’ about ’something’ I use Wikipedia” – I think that explains it.
I just Googled “Is Wikipedia the new Google” and found that I’m not the first person to think this:

Tomahawk (February 2006)
and
My Green Jar (June 2006)
