WikiFuture?


I've written before about how amazing it is that Wikipedia ("the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit") will be updated within moments of an event happening. For example, when Anna Nicole died, her entry on the site was updated with the news within minutes.

But, in a story that seems a little bit chilling, police are looking into how the entry for a famous wrestler revealed the death of his wife before the police even discovered the body.

(Chris Benoit, the subject of the story, is the wrestler who killed his wife, son and then himself last weekend. By the way, I had never heard of the guy.)

(Thanks for the tip.)
