Britannica takes a swipe at Wikipedia

From Baby Boomer Librarian’s most recent post:

“I just got the message below after completing my registration for the free offer being made to bloggers by Encyclopaedia Britannica Online. I saw it posted by many different bloggers. The offer is was available at http://britannicanet.com/. It is clearly an attempt to blunt the use of Wikipedia by many bloggers and other online writers. I will blog about how useful it is to me as a blogger. I actually like Wikipedia and have contributed to it in several articles. It is not an academic source to list in a research paper and the same rule applies to EB and other general encyclopedias.“
