The Wikipedia Effect

What is The Wikipedia Effect?


1.

The Wikipedia Effect is the tendancy for inquisitive people to become caught in an endless series of pages on the popular open-encyclopedia, "Wikipedia", to which they are forced to read every single page they've opened.

This tends to happen thanks to Wikipedia's inter-linking model, which links important words in a particular article, to an entire article on that word. The trend can then easily cascade from there, ending in dozens of pages that a user finds interesting.

"Don't you just love The Wikipedia Effect? It sure is a good way to stave off boredom."
