This courtesy of Helen Baxter from Mowhawk Media on National Radio’s “Virtual World” segment this week …Wiki Groaning is a Wikipedia game in the spirit of Google Whacking.
To find a Wiki Groan pick a useful general interest Wikipedia article. Then, find a related article that is longer, but at the same time, completely trivial.
Some examples:
- Combat vs. Jedi Lightsabre Combat
- Latin vs. Klingon
- Motor Vehicle Theft vs. Dude, Where’s My Car?
- Marriage vs. Married … With Children
- Military Base vs. All you base are belong to us

The show is half and hour and this piece is near the end. But, listen to the whole thing as they also cover Ponoko and PlanHQ, two exciting Wellington-based web businesses.
