Alternative Business Models to Serve the Common Good Jimmy Wales, Wikimedia Foundation
Ranked by Forbes Magazine as a “Web Celeb”, Jimmy Donal Wales is a U.S. Internet entrepreneur and wiki
pioneer who is best known as the founder of Wikipedia, an international collaborative free content
encyclopedia on the Internet, and the Wikimedia Foundation. He is co-founder of Wikia, a privately owned
free web hosting service he set up in 2004. In a 2004 interview with Slashdot, Mr Wales explained his
motivations about Wikipedia, “Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free
access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.” The success of the project has helped
popularize a trend in web development (called Web 2.0) that aims to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and
sharing among users. As Wikipedia expanded and its public profile grew, Mr Wales took on the role of the
project's spokesperson and promoter through speaking engagements and media appearances. His work with
Wikipedia, which has become the world's largest encyclopedia, prompted TIME Magazine to name him one
of its “100 Most Influential People,” in 2006 in the “Scientists & Thinkers” category. In 2003, Mr Wales
founded the Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to encouraging the
growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual content, and to providing the full content of these
wiki-based projects to the public free of charge.
