Jimmy Wales has a response to Jason Calacanis’ unsolicited suggestion that Wikipedia run ads and contribute the revenue to charity.
It includes this jab:
“This was at Wikimania this past summer, and I barely even remember him… we were at a large table and there were some very much more interesting people at the dinner.”
For the record, I was at Wikimania but I wasn’t at that dinner. However, one night Dave Winer and I had dinner together and I think he’ll agree with me that we were the two most interesting people at the table for two.
Sidenote: Jimmy Wales, who rarely blogs, yesterday had a post about a neat jack-o-lantern he and his daughter made. I can say from experience, that kind of a project is way more fun than engaging in a flame war.
