The Printed Wikipedia — A Prediction Comes True!

A recent news report from Germany confirms an idea I’d been toying with for a couple of years (apparently along with a few other people) — that printing online content can be a good business. To quote from the Associated Press story:

Germany’s Bertelsmann AG will publish what could be the first in a series of annual yearbooks whose content is derived from the many hundreds of thousands of user-created entries on Wikipedia.

Well, there you have it — the print/online boundary proves semi-permeable in the opposite direction!
