Knowledge graph on Google
Google is taking it a step further with its new search system that brings relevant webpages to you. It helps you cut back on all the information floating around and gives you quick easy answers so you don't have to go searching. In some ways this is great for google, but the webpages that actually provide the information, like Wikipedia might not be so thrilled about the idea because they could lose the traffic to their page. Dosens of like websites like Wikipedia, Freebase and other open source information page are being used for Google's new venture. However it seems as if they are using the individuals that usually provide data for these websites and using htem for the Knowledge graph. This remeinded me of the concern with the first form of Internet, the ARPAnet, when people were not so willing to give out information to the WWW. It seems like we are really entering an age of free information.
