From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Why this commercial page?

This is a commercial page for an unimportant company. Internet Brands Inc. recently bought Wikitravel, which is now a pure commercial project, being not under the GNU license. I think the community has not yet realized this move of Wikitravel into the commercial sector. Thus, the Wikipedia entry of Internet Brands Inc. helps to make things clear. Otherwise, it should have been omitted instantly.--Klauspeter 09:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia documents many commercial companies as any encylopedia does. So for example, Category:Companies based in San Mateo County contains a listing of a dozen articles about companies in just one California county. Also Wikitravel is hosted by a commerical company, but the content is Free content which means that you can reuse the text -- or start your own wiki based on the text -- under certain conditions. While you might argue that IB is an unimportant company, it does host Wikitravel which has already been determined to be important enough to warrant an article (see that discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikitravel) so one might argue that by hosting a site worthy of an article it is prudent to have an article about the hosting company too. -- Cjensen 09:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Internet Brands' total traffic (across its holdings) probably make it one of the larger internet operations in the world. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.111.44.88 (talk) 16:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
