Wikipedia Vs. YouTube
Here's the dirt on how these objects relate to one another:
YouTube is a Web 2.0 website and that whole concept was pioneered in Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, basically invented the whole concept of letting users dynamically create and edit their own content, which concept lies at the heart of YouTube. The difference is that at Wikipedia, editors create content which is mostly text-based and strives for an encyclopedic flavor, while YouTube editors create primarily video-based content with very little restriction.
