You weren't wrong about that, in the sense that the twittersphere has 
attracted (at leas some of) those mostly driven by instant updating. 
Leaving an adequate but hardly overmanned reference utility that is 
actually used by tens of millions daily to look things up. We appear to 
have avoided the death spiral, and it is even possible that a somewhat 
smaller workforce that had higher median clue was what the project needed.
