LyricWiki

I posted about this in the forums and it got a decent response so I wanted to make sure it got some front page mention.
LyricWiki is exactly what it sounds like. Its a wiki full of music lyrics. There are a couple of important things about this site. The most important thing about this site is that it has no ads. This might not mean much to most people, but the RIAA in their haste to sue the world has been cracking down on music lyric sites, but not just any music lyric sites. Only those that have ads on them that they could conceivably earn money on. The lack of ads on this wiki makes LyricWiki legit and free from copyright persecution. Also, because this is a wiki, its community driven so people are always adding to the collective. So, while there are gaps there, they are being filled in slowly but surely.
This is really a great application of a wiki. I’m glad to see someone thought of this and implemented it for everyone’s benefit. Its been harder and harder to find accurate song lyrics lately.
