Larry Sanger : Citizendium Blog
Reactionary?
"From a blog post by Ethan Zuckerman, discussing a talk by Andrew Keen of Cult of the Amateur infamy:
[Keen is] a fan of Citizendium, the Larry Sanger project to create a wikipedia by leveraging experts; of Google’s “wikipedia-killerâ€, Knol; of Jason Calcanis’s hand-rolled search engine Mahalo. These projects seem deeply reactionary to me, like they’re missing the fundamental truth of the projects that they’re copying:"

Well, one of the "six flags" originally referred to in this name is the now-politically-incorrect confederate flag. They downplay this by not showing any actual flags any more and just using a logo that has six generic pendants.

Interesting, particularly since the Confederacy had three different national flags in its brief existence. I wonder which one they picked originally?
