Can Wikipedia Survive?
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/21/opinion/can-wikipedia-survive.html
Could the pressure from mobile, and the internal tensions, tear
Wikipedia apart? A world without it seems unimaginable, but
consider the fate of other online communities. Founded in 1985,
at the dawn of the Internet, the Well, the self-proclaimed
"birthplace of the online community movement," hosted an
influential cast of dot-com luminaries on its electronic
bulletin board discussion forums. By 1995, it was in steep
decline, and today it is a shell of its former self. Blogging,
celebrated a decade ago as pioneering an exciting new form of
personal writing, has decreased significantly in the
social-media age.
