Well, Wikipedia has experienced some of these growing pains.

Let me say that as a PR person, Wikipedia is an important player in PR 2.0 and social media tactics, not only does it get your message, client or product in front of a lot of people in a very unbias location, but it is also a great SEO tool in the Web 2.0 realm.

Here are a couple of articles discussing the growing pains Wikipedia went through:

My Two Cents: I don’t think this is a bad thing. Granted it isn’t pleasant for Wikipedia or the parties that have been wronged, but we–players in the media industry–need to figure out how to use these developing media and I am hesitant to regulate the heck out of them, so I think this is an interesting point of discussion as long as some resolutions are made in the end and can be applied to the media industry.

What are your thoughts?
