Jimmy Wales has a profile on Linkedin, nothing wrong with that, although he considers himself as "founder" of Wikipeda. Unlike some on Linkedin, he's smart to be treating his account for only professional connections, as he said go to Facebook if you want a "fan" account. But I was thinking, I wonder how long before he attempts to copy a Linkedin style professional networking site off the Wikipedia "brand" name.

QUOTE(Brutus @ Fri 17th August 2012, 12:52pm)  Founder Wikipedia 2001 – 2007 (6 years) So he is no longer the founder?  In fact Wikipedia is already half way to Linkedin. There are many who have profiles on their user pages. But I doubt that Wikilinkedin would be much success. Look at how poor Wikisearchengine was. |
