It has not been called WWF in years lol Wikipedia has got to be my favorite website, although not my most visited, that would be MySpace, but definitely in the top 3. There is NO WAY a site as popular and with as much traffic will just "disappear". If this quote turns out to be in correct context, then I'm sure there would be many companies offering hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to acquire it, just like what happened with MySpace and YouTube. And Google does seem like the best choice, since Wikipedia seems like the 'Google of encyclopedias'. But if that happens, i think it might get to the point i become scared of Google and the monopoly it created, but hey, it is better part of Google's monopoly then Microsoft's, lol. I love Google. the last 2 comments is pointless. ok, no more wrestling and beer for you two. It has not been called WWF in years lol
