Re: the section on Wikipedia, I found the author's disagreement with Wiki's definition of NoSQL non-nonsensical and trolling. 1st off, the definition itself has a reference to nosql-database.org, which is a list of NoSQL dbs. On that site, there is an acknowledgement of the controversy around the "not only SQL" definition of NoSQL.
Second off, what is the author talking about with the caption of Jimmy Wales "Jimmy Wales would like you to donate to Wikipedia, so we can have a clearer description of the most exciting thing to happen to data in 40 years"
That is not what happens when you donate to Wikipedia. Donating to Wikipedia will not make the articles better or the definitions clearer. Only YOU can do that, since Wikipedia is the encyclopedia everyone can edit, and YOU can edit it to make it better.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm kind of tired of people writing blog posts that are "hurr durr Wikipedia got this one thing wrong and instead of pressing the edit button and correcting it, I'm going to write a blog article about how Wikipedia sucks"
