Wikis allow news, history by committee | CNET News.com

While arguments proliferate that building by a community of an encyclopedia or a news analysis by amateurs lacks the authority of a professionally produced equivalent, the community built product can only become better.

While a fad factor may account for the early burst of enthusiasm, enough people are online and comfortable with the easy tools to create wikis, I believe they have staying power and will get better with age.
