The knowledge business is getting wikified. Last week I was at Balliol College at Oxford University with Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger to debate the proposition that “the Internet is the future of knowledge.” And we agreed that today’s open source Internet — with its user-generated wikis and blogs — was indeed radically democratizing the way in which knowledge is now being created and distributed. It was ironic, of course, to discuss the democratization of knowledge in medieval Oxford.
