I like to think of Wikipedia as a site for people who like to correct other people.

One of my favorite reddit shower thoughts:

"Wikipedia built the biggest modern information hub using nothing but nerds' need to correct each other."

It's really quite astonishing how powerful a force that is, and how well Wikipedia channels it toward something good!

"Well actually..." given form.

I'd never actually tried to describe Reddit so succinctly; in the same vein as yours, maybe Reddit is just Jeopardy where every comment must be in the form of a correction.

Perfectly accurate or not, I think the venn-diagram of "People unlikely to already know what Reddit is" overlaps heavily with "People who know and understand what Jeopardy is", making it an excellent analogy :)

This is brutal, and potent. Nicely done.

Oh, that cuts to the quick.
