Granted, but I'm quite sure that recruiting a few thousand
ambitious
know-it-alls isn't as big a task as you might imagine. In fact, I think Googleopedia or Wikiexpedia would merely have to open their doors and they would instantly get tens of thousands of enthusiastic
contributors and media exposure that we can only dream about. Remember
all that fuss when Gmail began and Gvites were being
auctioned on eBay for sizable amounts?
So what can (insert name of commercial fork here) offer that WP can't?
I don't think Google would have any trouble attracting "a few thousand ambitious know-it-alls". Surely you don't think that WP has cornered the market on such people?
He-he. We also haven't cornered the market for trolls and vandals. The first ones they would get would be the ones we got rid of, and who are now looking for a place to carry on their activity. 8-)
