Thanks for sharing Bishaka.

On a side note, a quote from the article: "Presently, the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a way to include content from social media (select tweets and status updates) as a valid citation method on Wikipedia."

I'm not familiar with this work that WMF is doing? Anyone have any insight on this?

And we used tweets quite a bit in writing the Egyptian Revolution article, with ways of knowing which are good, reliable sources.

The stress on getting "house wives" to edit is really interesting to me (per the submissions). The WikiWomenWeb reminds me of a knitting circle. :)

Did anyone record the panel discussion?
