Since a last consolidation in the BOOKMARK 2.0 sub-list (cf. http://bobstumpel.blogspot.com/2006/07/bookmark-20.html), which holds close to 130 links, I published about 25 more.

Your Wikipedia article proposed a very good idea - jump-starting the semantic web by giving the tools to one very influential community with a large database.

In other words, average content = very short tail. I still get over 100 hits a day for the Wikipedia 3.0 article which was published over 40 days ago!!! but I still don't know what's remarkable about it :) It's linked to rom almost 7,000 sites according to MSN, which is why it has such a long tail. The 36 hour thing applies only to average content. Write something meaningful and you'll have a mini-religion. I mean isn't religion the strongest virus ever?

I just wanted to say that I completely agree with the points you made in your post -- especially in regards to AdSense and Digg. I was a bit surprised by the fact that 1.8% of Wikipedia users contribute 72% of the content. That's a much lower percentage of contributors than I would have guessed....
