When Scoble was hanging out on Monday he mentioned an idea that would incorporate Wikipedia entries for people. I thought that was cool, wondered what social norms ruled edits for biopages, and then promptly forgot about it as we jumped to the next new topic. 

On memeorandum, I ended up reading Danah Boyd's post on her experiences of having a Wikipedia page.  Needless to say, it was fascinating to read about something I'm not sure I would have ever taken the time to learn about on my own. 

My thoughts after reading it? 

Wow, it sure is easy to spend a lot of time lost on the web.  How do people avoid information overload?  I realized I had by ignorning lots of it.
