My husband travels for the living. A lot more times than he would care to count, his company has booked him into a hotel which doesn't offer cable Television. Last year, even though surfing the web, he came across a site the allows him to Free XBOX360 Now he has one thing to perform on those nights when he is bored. This makes me extremely happy as there had been nights when he would go out searching for something to perform. He would frequently spend much more out within the town than he had made that day. His career is to bring funds in, not spend more than he makes.

[...] Se vocÃªs tiverem a curiosidade de saber qual Ã© aquele caso dos elefantes na WikipÃ©dia que o DÃ³ria falou, leiam o post Colbert Spams Wikipedia do Andrew Lih. O DÃ³ria deu a entender de que Ã© possÃvel influenciar informaÃ§Ãµes na internet se vocÃª souber como fazÃª-lo. O que ele se esqueceu de dizer Ã© que hÃ¡ contra-medidas para se evitar isso.

[...] Via Andrew Lih (Colbert Spams Wikipedia) and Slashdot (Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires), I watched the famous/notorious/interesting prank video clip on Youtube.com: “wikiality”. It is a prank to exploit the conservative news program anchor character, Stephen Colbert, in the selection of his favorite “non-fact” “anti-intellecual” attitude / POV, the prank makes fun of wikipedia. Using a fake scenario of “submitting entries in realtime”, Stephen Colbert typing his notebook and teaching everyone in front of the television: everyone can edit an article on wikipedia. Democracy media. I laughed. And also I think it IS a culture-jamming event on wikipedia. Just like people sabortage the news clips, hack billboards, weaving fake news on mainstream media channels, this time, a main steam comedian jamming the Internet medium. Wales comments about the traffic data comparing wikipedia and CNN website that “Wikipedia is mainstream already”. So this is a joke right exploiting the (social?) “security leaks” in the middle of wikipedia. Let’s roll back to a recently well-written article about wikipedia. New Yorker “Fact”: “Know It All — Can Wikipedia conquer expertise?” by Stacy Schiff, “one of the best article about wikipedia” mentioned in Andrew Lih’s blog, showed fact-based empathy and sincere critics toward wikipedia in the end of July. It distinguishes the global new challenge of vulenteer knowledge community and fandome. [...]

delighted to hear about this new people’s internet warfare example here
however, it’s a pity that while i travel in china i cant get access to wikipedia which is blocked by the chinese government’s “web warfare team” (some sources said that it’s in the number of about 3,000 people, and growing)
hence the tactical practice of invasion and defence between colbert and tawker would not be useless but meaningfulâ€¦
