Britannica vs. Wikipedia vs. Digital Universe vs. Squidoo vs. ?

Who wants to be the knowledge repository for all mankind?

The race is on:

- Encyclopædia Britannica: the free stuff is weak! [rank= 2,839]
- Wikipedia: a controversy on quality [rank = 31]
- Digital Universe: slow going in building out the "portals" [rank = 150,326]
- Squidoo: too quirky? [rank = 6,290]

and of course there's Google...

I'm betting on two things: "free" and "ease-of-use" - and the winner (today) is Wikipedia.
