Commies in America

If you don’t know about Wikipedia or Craigslist, you’re Internetly dumb.

  • Wikipedia: Alexa rank #8, 60 million visitors/200 million visits per month; 75,000 active contributors on more than 10,000,000 articles in more than 260 languages; My personal encyclopedia.
  • Craigslist: Alexa rank #40, 40 million visitors/200 million visits per month; in 450 cities in 50 countries; My personal furniture broker.

It’s perfectly understandable if you don’t know this: Wiki is a registered not-for-profit organization, now asking for donations; Craigslist could make over $500 million a year, but they don’t want to.

Here’s the best part: Wiki is run by a staff of 23, Craigslist 24.

A bunch of commies!
