Stanford Launches Student-Run Wiki
Inspired by Wikipedia's model of community-created information, Stanford University has launched its own wiki for students. Stanford Wiki features information on professors, dining halls, dorms, local businesses, and even financial aid. It is open for public view, but only users with a Stanford email address may edit entries. The new site, which could easily be used to reach new students or to share information with alumni, is a potential boon to the university because it provides free marketing for the school directly from its most avid fans: those who attend it.
