So why is Wikia giving away all this for gratis when it volition toll them coin for buying all those additional servers, difficult disks, ability bills, etc ? The 1 discussion respond is Youtube.com.
There's a uncomplicated connectedness betwixt Youtube together with Wikia's Openserving.com - When Youtube launched, they asked users to upload together with percentage their abode video clips alongside other users via Youtube for free.
The companionship itself wasn't making whatever coin from these grainy clips but over time, Youtube successfully managed to construct a community of millions of users together with it reached a signal when the entire spider web became addicted to the "user generated content" stored on Youtube.
That's when Google stepped in alongside a cheque of $1.65 billion. It may non require whatever rocket scientific discipline to envisage a like time to come for Openserving.com.
We are non living inwards the 1999 era of freebies anymore. But yes, this proclamation volition non last music to the ears of other hosted wiki platforms or wiki farms that offering promotion supported wikis.
