I think that these two examples represent technological growth rather than information growth, although there's certainly a link between the number of servers and the quantity of information. topynate ( talk) 14:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC) reply

This article seems to engage in a bit of original research, mostly in that it purports to show the first use of the term through a citation to a primary source – the story cited itself as the first use. What we need are citations to secondary sources that explicitly identify the first use of the term, not the first use that someone found through their own research. There are other references made to primary sources that identify its use in specific places; these should be cleaned up, too. A secondary source is also needed to tie the Netcraft stats to this topic. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 09:46, 17 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Agreed. More than that, flawed original research. As anyone knows, information [does not explode]. To say so is to insist in what Hjørland (2014) calls "poor terminological hygiene".

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Information explosion. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://www.webcitation.org/6CIPK8Vks?url=http://www.sifry.com/alerts/archives/000432.html to http://www.sifry.com/alerts/archives/000432.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
