Wiki Millions

New Web Sites Seeking Profit in Wiki Model

Wiki.com recently sold for $2.86 Million, that in itself will generate more interest in Wikis!

The NYT's article failed to mention Ward Cunningham, the inventor of the Wiki and Ross Mayfield the Wiki Master of Socialtext.

Hanging-out with Ward C was a highlight for me at last years Web 2.0 conference and I had breakfast with Ross just a few hours after the late-night Socialtext party.

Identity and authentication are necessary in our networked world conversation; there is far too much anonymous trash talk and excessive ego building going on. Credit cards and airlines require identity and authentication, now we need to find an easy way to identify the content from the spam.
