Wiki

Do you see the images below? Yes! It’s the Wikipedia result when you browse something about Kate Middleton, but did you notice what’s the different between the two images? Well if not, ha-ha, read on baby.


Kate Middleton Profile on Wikipedia (April 29,2011)


Kate Middleton Profile on Wikipedia (April 30,2011)


Wikipedia is one of the powerful tools over the Internet browsing today; it begun its operation way back 2001 by joined project of Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger using the concept and technology of a wiki pioneered by Ward Cunningham. The Idea is to create a free online free web page that helps the people for searching something on the net.

Wiki is Hawaiian word means “Quick or Fast”, while Pedia is from Encyclopedia, together they put the two word and chuala “WIKIPEDIA” was born, the good thing about this website is they have about 18 million articles (over 3.6 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site.

Just like the images below, if did not notice, there is actually a different between the two, the first one is the snapshot for the result I took April 29, 2011, I heard that Prince William and Kate Middleton is getting married, I was curious about her Kate, so I decided to searched her name on Wikipedia, and the result was the first image below, so yesterday, April 30, 2011, I searched again her name and the result was the second image.

The first image shows that Kate Middleton is the fiancée of Prince William, and their wedding will take place on April 29, 2011 while the second image shows that she is the Wife of Prince William, haha, see how updated the Wikipedia website is, in just about a day old, the profile of Princess Kate was updated from being the fiancée to wife (Cool).

Through the years of using the Internet Wikipedia has become a part of my journey and quest in blogging and self exploration, it helps me to define the things that I can’t understand; it helps me gain knowledge that only through Internet can be found. Wikipedia make it easy for us to make a research and gather some information about any topic.

If you search about something now a day, it’s a lot faster compare than before, but of course that is only if you have internet access, nyehehehehe.



Thank you to Wikipedia for your effort in helping us.



And lastly, thank you for reading my blog

  1. Ay oo. Ako pag merong mga important events sa history na gusto kong malaman, sa Wikipedia ako pumupunta.. Very helpful talaga sya. It's jsut like an online encyclopeida.. always updated. hehehe..

    Hindi ako masyadong interesado sa wedding. hehe.. Syempre I respect those who watched the show in full, eh kaso sa akin, wala eh. :( Sabi nga ng mga friends ko killjoy daw ako. Hmp!

    P.S.

    Hmm.. meron pa akong nakitang pagkakaiba.. It seems like you have the same opened tabs sa browser mo and the same downloads.. hehe.. You searched for her on the same day, not 29 and 30, respectively. Hehe.. Ikaw, Al ha..

    At ang time ng 1st picture is 12:56 at ang 2nd picture is 12:58. Super bilis lang ng updates ng Wiki. In a span of just 2minutes. :)

  2. nge nawala ang comment. ko.

    ano ang nangyari...

    balik tayo sa sinasabi ko. Thats true Al. Kung sa pannahon ngayon kung di mo alam ang isang bagay tamad ka lang alamin ito or talagang wala ka lang internet connection or pC kawawa ka naman. kasi lahat ng gusto mong alamin isang click lang ngayon.whoohhh.

    tulad kanina lang sa post ni poging leonraf, nabangit niya ang bisexual alam ko siya kasi lagi mo naman yan naririnig pero i google the word bi ano ba ang ibig sabihin niyan pero walang lumabas na patungkol sa word na bi.pero hinanap ko ulit siya ngayon kasi ang idea ko bi means two.ganon kagaling ang wikpedia or internet na lang in general.

    O diba ang galing ng internet information overlaod ikaw na ang maraming alam.

    Akala ko naman ang post mo tungkol sa royal wedding si wikipedia pala nakafocus.

  4. That's right Wikipedia is indeed informative. I wish I had easy internet access when I was studying. Diba Al nung mga kapanahunan natin hindi pa naman ganun ka uso ang internet? Library talaga ang puntahan natin kung minsan kulang kulang pa. Ngayon ang mga students halos dala dala na ang library dahil sa internet.

  11. Nung college ako uso na ang internet, kaso mas prefer ko pa din ang library. mas gusto ko unti unti at madugo ang pangangalap ng information kasi may enjoy pag tapos na.

    Napansin ko yung pinagkaiba nung 2 image yung second meron ng crown. Tapos yung biography under the picture may spouse na tapos yung April 29 version fianfee pa lang.
