Who's Posting on Wikipedia?
If you are like me, you visit and link to Wikipedia often (more than 40 million people do every month). Now, you can see who's behind the latest edits to your favorite terms. As covered in Wired and I'm sure elsewhere, a CalTech student named Virgil Griffith has written an app called Wikiscanner that pulls from publicly available data to correlate the IP address of the editor to its corporate owner - thus showing where an employee may be making favorable (or unfavorable, for that matter) revisions to entries referencing the company. Some pretty interesting reads under the Editor's Picks links on the right side of the page.
