...people say Wikipedia is facts, but a lot of it is analysis and interpretation. If you're talking about why the U.S. got into World War II, that's all analysis and opinion," says Foodista CEO Barnaby Dorfman, who launched the site nine months ago. Likewise, he says, "if you asked 100 people what's in apple pie, you're going to get tight agreement about the fact that it has apples, cinnamon, sugar, a crust and probably some lemon.
