Citizendium is up and running

I was surfing through Fox New this morning and came upon a pleasant surprise. The new rival to Wikipedia, Citizendium, is now online in the beta stage.

Wikipedia was and is a wonderful concept, however, in the six years it has been operational I have often been at odds with one or more topics of information. As Fox News so aptly wrote:

"The downside is that the free encyclopedia has its share of errors and juvenile vandalism, and sometimes the writing is incomprehensibly arcane."

In my opinion, nothing is more frustrating then to do a bit of research for a blog or other article and come across multiple errors, or outright lies and vandalism.

In any case, I am looking forward to this new research tool and hope it does well.

Here again is the link to Citizendium.
