MyWikiBiz

MyWikiBiz is a wiki directory that allows people and enterprises to write about themselves. The brand began as a service creating articles for paying corporations.
History
Gregory Kohs and his sister started the MyWikiBiz venture in July 2006, as a paid editing service, writing content for inclusion in and other community-edited sites. Kohs charged between US$49 and US$99 for articles.
At the time, though it was widely known that was used by corporations and public relations firms, such contributions were often hidden, only to be discovered later. co-founder Jimmy Wales expressed opposition to the idea of a paid editing service.
The Chronicle of Higher Education said "it's hard to feel too bad for MyWikiBiz," and that "if the encyclopedia is serious about gaining acceptance from academia, surely it has a vested interest in dissuading companies from paying to improve their presence on the site."
In late October 2006, Kohs formed a partnership to promote and market a wiki-based directory at Centiare.com, after which Kohs moved its contents to MyWikiBiz.com.
