Damn Wikipedia is Fast

Is Wikipedia more accurate than prediction markets, polls, blogs and news? Good grief. Thursday at 5pm, people were already updating the Palin page! Prediction markets had whatshiface governor whose name starts with a P (Tim something) and Mitt Romney at 50% apiece! I heard Palin's contract was still trading at single digit numbers at 2am, but wikipedia was already starting to get a lot of traffic to its Palin page late afternoon on Thursday. That is amazing.
