German Wikipedia To Be Printed


Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet


WikipediaIt seems that Wikipedia is entering the real world, beginning in Germany. The company is planning to publish a hardcover copy of the Internet tome to be named “The One-Volume Wikipedia Encyclopedia.” It will be composed of 50,000 of the 740,000 most searched terms. The first volume, which will be printed in September, may be a hint of things to come, as well as a new chapter in how to make money for Wikipedia. Remember to uncap your red pen to anonymously update and edit the book on its first read-through.

Comments:

wikipedia has become such a household name now, that I am sure that it would sell well in a printed version.  But what is the point in buying an encyclopedia anymore?  It won’t be automatically updated (obviously) and it will cost you money, so I do not see why people would purchase this over just looking on a webpage…
