Starting today, I have enabled my del.icio.us account to post links to gimme-five every day at noon. This means if I happen to stumble across any excellent websites on a given day (and I often do), I will post the links here at 3:30ish! Isn’t that incredible?
A new wiki entitled Wikicars has launched. It’s basically a gigantic user-editable encyclopedia focused on cars that you can view for free. It follows along the lines of Wikipedia, but it’s car-centric. Although Wikicars is fairly new, and lots of information still needs to be added, Wikicars definitely looks like it has some promise. Right now it appears it will include information on buying, selling, maintenance, and more.
The reason this is so great is because it can be edited by anyone. As we have seen with the success of Wikipedia, with a few exceptions, this means information is quickly and often accurately assembled. Of course, Wikicars shouldn’t be the only place you do car-related research, but it’s a great place to start.
I forgot to mention that I am away on vacation until Saturday, July 29. I’ll return to write some articles on Saturday or Sunday. Maybe one this week if you’re lucky!
Test your typing skills by copying a piece of text into a textarea under a time limit. I got just over 95 words per minute! Woo hoo! Probably all that writing I do for gimme-five…
