\"\"<\/a>Wow.\u00a0 The Sendai earthquake and tsunami <\/a>happened yesterday and already a wiki page has been created and VERY well populated and referenced. Last night when the quake happened it was all over Twitter, as is expected now a days. In fact, I knew about the tsunami warning for California (through Twitter) long before it got here.\u00a0 But the fact that a well populated page on wiki can come up so fast ( and still growing) is amazing.\u00a0 This is not new.\u00a0 Wiki sites in regard to the various revolutions in North Africa generated wiki pages quickly as well, but I think the depth of detailed information, reference and media is what makes this particular event note worthy.\u00a0\u00a0 Sure, this observation is not breaking news by any means, but its good to step back every now and again and realize.\u00a0 Hey, we live in some pretty fast times.<\/p>\n
