| Caltech graduate student Virgil Griffith just launched an unofficial 
| Wikipedia search tool that threatens to lay bare the ego-editing  and 
| anonymous flacking on the site. Enter the name of a corporation, organization  
| or government entity and you get a list of IP addresses assigned to it. Then 
| with one or two clicks, you can see all the anonymous edits made from those 
| addresses anywhere in Wikipedia's pages.
