Wiki-chasing
Wiki-chasing is the process of going on a information hunt online regarding certain topics, specifically wikipedia. These searches often begin with research into one subject of interest, and then descend into the piling up of other subjects related to the initial interest. The most common example of this is the opening of a tab on wikipedia, and the subsequent opening of many other tabs somewhat related to it (eg. opening a tab on WWII, then opening tabs on specific incidents and individuals. There is then a 'chase' to read through all the information on the many tabs, minimising the open tabs to a manageable, necessary amount. Wiki-chases are characterised by late night searches on historical matters or current events.
