Encyclopedia Britannica is trying to change it’s way of business. Britannica is opening it’s resources to web publishers, bloggers who publish regularly. Even that program has a name “Encyclopaedia Britannica WebShare”. We’ll see in near future that will the WebShare program succeed or not but I’ve to remind you that the Google & Wikipedia thing is the big mambo jambo gorilla in business with stating 186:1 page view ratio.

Everyone is not eligible for publishing the content via web widgets, you must be eligible for that. Want that, give it a shot here.

Motto like statement of Britannica:

Just fill out the form below, and we’ll get back to you shortly. If you qualify, we’ll send you instructions for getting access for a year to Britannica.com, which includes the Encyclopædia Britannica and many other sources of rich, reliable and high-quality information..

Here comes a epistemological question “Is it possible to say that, the situation of quality of information (and/or knowledge)” exists? And how can it be defined? If it exists who will compare it or who will decide the state of quality?
