Wetpaint is a free wiki hosting service (or wiki farm) founded in October 2005. All wiki URLs are a subdomain of "wetpaint.com". Wetpaint targets non-technical internet users who want to collaborate online, and therefore attempts to include easy to use features, such as a three step wiki creation wizard. In March 2008, Wetpaint added social networking features.[1] Wetpaint is free of charge and supported by contextual advertising. Established educational sites are ad-free upon request.
Wetpaint is located in Seattle, Washington, USA and received its initial 'A' round of venture capital funding of USD5.25 million from Trinity Ventures and Frazier Technology Ventures in October 2005.[2] Wetpaint closed a USD9.5 million 'B' round of funding in January 2007, adding Accel Partners to the list of investor. [3]
Wetpaint is a Delaware corporation and was originally named Wikisphere.[4]
Wetpaint was a sponsor of Wikimania 2006 and named by Time Magazine as one of the 50 Best Websites of 2007.[5]
Notable Wetpaint partners include CBS[6].
