SocialMedia.biz: Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales on nurturing online communities
February 19th, 2010Posted by Judith Townend in Citizen journalism, Editors' pick, Handy tools and technology
SocialMedia.biz has a radio show featuring Jimmy Wales from Wikipedia, talking about growing and nurturing online communities. Despite the recent £2 million donation from Google, most money comes from small donations, he says.
It was a wide-ranging conversation about the democratization of media, the birth of Ourmedia and YouTube, the thriving global open source development community of WordPress, Creative Commons licenses, Ning, entrepreneurial journalism, Silicon Valley’s mantra of embracing failure, and the state of Wikipedia.
