Can anyone imagine the Internet without Google or Wikipedia? I certainly can't. I spend my days searching, reading and learning from both of them.

Well it seems Wikipedia is having financial difficulties as their campaign only brought in one third of the needed funds and they may soon run out of cash to pay their hosting bills.

Florence Devouard from Wikipedia reported her concerns on his blog.

It would be an unfathomable loss to all of us if Wikipedia were to disappear but we can all do something about it, like pitching in so this doesn't happen.Act Now! in any small way you can. It will add up.

I think it's running OK. The recent fundraiser went well.

But that's one of the sites that I frequent a lot.
