Surely, Wikipedia has taken our Web experience to a new threshold with every
single person hooked to the Internet allowed to edit and add data to this
knowledge bank. Browsing through can be a tough task. Here are five ways to go
about the madness with a method:
1-Double barrel power
One way to scourge the net is to get the Wikipedia powerhouse linked with
Googlepedia. Googlepedia is actually an offering by the Firefox browser that
zeroes in on Wikipedia search results in tandem with the Google search results.
This way, a click gets you matter from the numero uno search engine and the most
extensive encyclopedia on the net.
2-Sorting it all
A great feature of the Wikipedia is the Wikirank. The application analyses the
data flow on the servers of Wikipedia. This lets you zero in on the most
searched and hottest topics on the Internet. The Wikirank also lists the
most-popular articles that have been read in the last 30 days. But that’s not
all. You can use Wikirank to make comparisons between two articles and even
place them on your website.
3-Hey! A browser too
Move over browsers. Wikipedia has launched is own browser called the Gollum.
Gollum takes you through the Wikipedia in all languages. It also gives you
plenty of flexibility with new features.
4-Doing it the new way
If we are talking of innovation can even browsing methods be changed? Yes!
Wikipedia-roll is an intelligent way to go through articles on the encyclopedia.
On the left is data relating to the topic and on the right is a list of all the
related topics to that article. The article presentation is like a topical
timeline
5-Popularity index
Wikirage is another feature that collects articles on the basis of editing
frequency. It lists right on top the articles that have attracted maximum
editing. It is an option to check out what the world is interested in.
