This is sort of a technology related post I guess. But I just noticed whilst watching the record setting Isner/Mahut tennis match that the Wikipedia article for both players is being updated live as the match happens. (see excert below)
In the singles at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, he faces Nicolas Mahut in the first round, attempting to win his first ever match at Wimbledon. At this moment, they are both locked in an epic 6–4, 3–6, 6–7(7), 7–6(3), 58–58 stand-off (In Progress).
I have heard that Wikipedia is the fastest updating encyclopedia ever but I never realised quite how fast. Any way however the match plays out I am sure Wikipedia is deserving of a record of it’s own.
