Free subscriptions and widgets for bloggers—from Encyclopedia Britannica

By David Rothman

image At least for now, the Encyclopedia Britannica is free to qualifying bloggers—go here. Plus, you can embed widgets on topics ranging from philosophy to American literature.

So, people are asking, how long will it take for the Britannica to go wiki—with, of course, close supervision of posters, which is what Citizendium does? Below, behold a sample widget! Of course, I hope that the Britannica will ultimately cut out the frills and use a direct, open approach like Wikipedia. Much better way to weave yourself into the fabric of the Web, folks!
