Summary

  • Wikipedia is an extensive source of information and can be overwhelming to browse
  • A tool called WikiTok has been created to make it easier to consume the information on Wikipedia
  • It combines the UI of TikTok and the information from Wikipedia, offering a scrollable feed of bite-size snippets from articles
  • After reading the snippet, you can choose to select “read more” to go to the full article on Wikipedia
  • The Heart icon lets you like an article, and the Share icon lets you share it with others
  • The more you use WikiTok, the more random but interesting information you can learn by scrolling
