My last blog post is now listed as a reference on the Wikipedia page for the iPhone 3G. So, is that a big deal? I could have just put the link there myself (I didn’t).
I feel pretty good about it, because I posted a tip that fixes a fairly widespread problem that people are having. It drove a lot of traffic (for me) to my blog. So, it was gratifying that someone on Wikipedia chose my blog post as the representative reference on the issue. It gave me a sense that what I wrote has some credibility.
But the more I think about it, the more the whole thing seems bizarre.
Can Wikipedia give credibility to my post, when Wikipedia itself is relying on my post to be credible?
I think I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole.
