I find your observations on YouTube to be quite truthful (I’m surprised not a lot of people seem to realize that, choosing to focus in at it as a Web 2.0 wonder instead), though I would like to add to it. Youtube also fails under load because it has become an all-inclusionist dumping ground for everything under the sun, including junk videos (such as that of idiot teenagers pulling a stupid stunt) and clips of TV shows and movies, something that has been–and continues to be–a big copyright headache for the guys behind YouTube/Google.

Cloudy, if you try to get involved with Wikipedia you will see it is metaphorically the same as a treehouse that looks OK on the outside, but has utterly fallen apart on the inside and is full of weak boards and splinters and people yelling “don’t touch that!” at you.

Regarding Wikipedia, I don’t get it. People treat it like it’s supposed to be the index of all human knowledge ever known. The fact is, it’s supposed to be a resource which is used as a starting point in discovering information, and as such I think it works well enough, even with the flaws.
