I just invented a new word, help me spread it to the masses...
Okay you know how when you go to Wikipedia for an article and then you find an interesting link in it (one that more than likely has only quasi-useful information) and then in your new article you find another quasi-useful (yet still interesting link) and then like 30 minutes later after several more links you're still reading and you've forgotten what your original search was for?
That's "Wikambulating". I need ideas on how to spread this word to the masses. Any suggestions would be helpful. I also encourage you to go out and spread the word to your friends, co-workers, and forum buddies. (I'm going to be jotting down some of my more interesting wikambulations in this thread and I encourage anybody else to do so also.)
I will be doing periodic googles on "wikambulate" to track it's progress. The ultimate goal being inclusion in an online or printed dictionary!

That's quite a usefull and funny word you invented FoG. I support the intergration of you word and will use it myself where- and whenever possible. Mostly because I'm often a victim of Wikambulation.

heheh, somebody made an article about wikambulating
Quote:
Wikipedia freefall is the gradual degradation of efficiency that occurs when you try to research a topic on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is strewn with detours, distractions and traps. For each innocent-looking blue-underlined word seduces you with its own siren song: "Would you like to know more?" If you have ever begun to research the Australian Constitution and found that you have spent the last three hours reading about Milhouse from The Simpsons, then you are a victim of Wikipedia freefall - the hapless descent through Wikipedia from topics relevant to your research into the realm of idle self-interested procrastination.

The problem is that the word is too specific. For example, one could have the same experience on google. Therefore I don't think wiki should be in the word itself.
