Thing 5

I have mainly used wikipedia as it is at the top of results in a google search, though I have noticed a change lately where wikipedia  has moved down to 3 or 4 on the list of retrieved records on google.

I use wikipedia  for personal use but also basic things for work perhpas checking correct spelling for a document on google which can then  lead me to wikipedia and then I will end up reading  most of the article

I have also come across wiki's for television shows, while I only glance at them, they very in depth and it looks to me people put a lot of time and energy into maintaining the wiki's. 

I have never thought of using wiki's for work, but now I have had a look at some of the links in this week's "thing" they are quite interesting and I will go back and look more in depth at them.
