Dude! Young Americans Trust Business Magazines More Than Wikipedia!, Josh Gordon on FolioMag.com Options

Josh Gordon writes about an interesting finding from the 2008 Trust Barometer from Edelman.



This is the 25-34 year old set in the United States.

However, if you look at the total global data from the Edelman report (which included data from not only the United States, but China, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Ireland, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and India, you find that Wikipedia is the seventh-most trusted source for info about companies, after:

1. Articles in business magazines
2. Stock or industry analyst reports
3. Television news coverage
4. Articles in newspapers
5. Conversations with your friends and peers
6. News coverage on the radio

So, the world is not as trusting (yet?) of Wikipedia as are younger U.S. college-educated income earners.

I talked on the phone for 5 minutes with the Josh Gordon blogger. He gave no indication whatsoever that he was a Wikipedian or a Wikipediot. He had never heard of the paid-editing flap and Wikipedia Review, either.

So, it's either a harmless doppelganger, or ArbCom Gordon is the world's best telephone actor.

So many actors "phone it in" that it's probably an honor just to be nominated. Maybe you could check with the Telephone Actors Guild. I think Durova is the current Prez.
