Wikipedia Reporting is fast
Wikipedia reporting is quite fast. The given link is about Miss World 2009 Kaiane Aldorino. The result was there by 10.57 pm IST (+5.30 GMT).
I am also watching Copenhagen UN Summit. The updates are coming regularly.
However, in case of BIMSTEC, the taking of Myanmar as the next chairman, was not updated even after 24 hours.
On the whole, the reporting is quite fast and must be giving the regular media run for their money.
I have found that even the bloggers are quite fast in reporting the new events. They are there with news just missing couple of seconds as compared to regular media. Wikipedia remains third but it is there within in couple of minutes.
Check the news item.
