An amazing (yet sad) video of the wisdom of crowds (VT massacre) and how quickly wikipedia (people) acted . The video is a time-lapse of the first 12 hours of the Wikipedia article documenting the Virginia Tech Massacre .

View the video on YouTube.

There’s also an interesting article in The New York Times that describes the scene at wikipedia and how it served as an essential resource in the aftermath of the VT Massacre. This is the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/23/technology/23link.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin
