Update: About 5 minutes after this post wikipedia removed those two names and well its not surprising. However if you search for the terms “melvin azoogle” or “raymille azoogle” the edited wiki page still comes up on Google.

Wikipedia is probably one of the more resourceful internet online encyclopedia (free) nowadays. The thing is that everyone can edit wikipedia. But then, its hard to game wikipedia because oftentimes they will check teh edited content and then 90% of the time, they will just reject your edited part. That’s understandable because Wiki is probably the most established encyclopedia site we have on earth today. :-)

Anyway last week, we did some editing for some part of the wikipedia and we just did it for fun, to be honest. Obviously we’re putting up crap on some wiki pages. As I was browsing today, I was shocked to see that one page particularly about Azoogle that we edited I think was accepted. The Wikipedia about Azoogle today has my name into it as CFO and my friend Raymille Belleza as a hotdog Vendor. LOL…

I thought its hard to edit a wiki page!

Anyway, again I know this doesn’t really make any sense at all but then I think this must be something Wikipedia needs to work for! If each page could be edited w/o much effort, then probably wiki is not most reliable source then, or at least reliable source for people. Wht do you think?

SphinnLike any other stuffs in the world, social networks have increased a lot these days. You can submit your own content, find great discussions and chunk in with a lot of traffic. But well not all managed to create a buzz for themselves. So now I am going to talk about Sphinn, a social network for everyone who is involve in internet marketing, SEO, and blogging and so. Sphinn probably is one of my big favorites. It is owned by SEO godfather Danny Sullivan. They are like digg (not as polluted though) wherein you can submit your content. People who like it will sphinn it and those who do not will bury it.

One thing with I like with Sphinn is that it’s very educational and you can learn a lot from it. Before I used to jack up my content there and hope for a share of traffic. When you look at Sphinn, it has a lot of interesting posts there gathered and compiled. Unlike Digg who can easily be gamed, Sphinn prefers to be different. I like the way they nofollow links from the sites that do not hit the frontpage. It’s a great way to measure the quality of the articles. Most of the articles and entries there are about SEO and SEM which I am very interested about.

Oh well… Maybe someday they can release a book with the compilations of the best entries. Just my 2 cents
