abstract
  • MyWikiBiz is a wiki directory that allows people and enterprises to write about themselves. The brand began as a service creating Wikipedia articles for paying corporations, which ended when the owner of MyWikiBiz was banned from Wikipedia. The current site at MyWikiBiz.com uses a version of the MediaWiki software. The MyWikiBiz directory currently contains over 36,000 pages of content about corporations and individuals, mostly imported en bloc from other directory sources. The business is headquartered in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The site was founded by Gregory Kohs, a market researcher. According to its main page: MyWikiBiz is a new directory where you can author your legacy on the Internet. We think you are notable, even if Wikipedia has rejected an article about you or your enterprise as being “non-notable”. With MyWikiBiz, you create a beautiful, reader-friendly page that will get picked up by Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Search engines. Professor Jonathan Zittrain of the Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society discussed the case of MyWikiBiz in his book The Future of the Internet - And How to Stop It. Gregory Kohs appeared on Attack of the Show! on January 25, 2007, and discussed MyWikiBiz. Heise Online expressed a suspicion that while MyWikiBiz’s “attempted corporate infiltration” of Wikipedia was discovered, MyWikiBiz was not an isolated case.
