Harvard-Wired podcast interview with Jimmy Wales

Wired has posted the latest in the Miscellaneous Podcast series I've been doing, sponsored by the Berkman Center and Wired. This one is an interview with Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia. We talk about the role of rules in building knowledge socially as oppopsed to just letting things work out. How important is consistency in the rules as opposed to making decisions that are highly sensitive to the particularities of the case?

We also talk about the effect of slicing topics up into lots of linked pieces. And how Wikipedia looks from the point of view of a Muppet. [Tags: everything_is_miscellaneous wikipedia jimmy_wales knowledge ]
