I still have my doubts about some of the more general topics, but the site is as good as its writers. The problems for Britanica are that it takes awhile to get the topics up on their website because they are vetted more with experts; it's not free; and perhaps not as many topics either.

To me, 50 entries aren't enough for a sample...it should be far more for this kind of study. Nature will get some criticism from the e-content providers, no doubt. But it's an interesting start, and I hail the founder for the site.
