Bloggers Linked to Wikipedia

A BlogPulse analysis finds that Wikipedia, the user-created, collaborative online encyclopedia, is one of the hottest applications on the Internet. In fact, consumer references and blog links to Wikipedia have increased steadily and dramatically in the past few months, fuled by increased blog traffic and a need for real-time updates sbaout breaking news stories.

More than twice as many bloggers now refer to Wikipedia as they do to the more traditional term 'encyclopedia,' and a half-percent of all blog posts typically cite Wikipeda as a source of information. Bloggers, in fact, mention Wikipedia six times more frequently than they mention Encyclopedia Britannica's web site.
