Changes

In December 2006, Jimmy Wales launched a spin-off from Wikia called [http://openserving.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Openserving]. Wales was attempting to copy another business model that had been floated by Centiare.com (which is currently regenerated at [[Directory:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]]) and Helium.com, where the unpaid labor who create new content would have the opportunity to earn advertising revenue as a reward for their authorship.  Although Wales claimed that "thousands" of interested queries were made of Openserving, the project never got a single new forum off the ground.  It was a failure.

Wikia.com is perhaps Wales' most successful project financially, although it has been speculated that it won't be able to turn a profit, as meager ad revenues can't possibly support the staffing needs.  Wikia Search, the last-gasp effort of Wales to achieve Internet success was on a miserable fail trajectory from the outset, especially in terms of edits being made to the site.  Finally, in April 2009, Wales has shut down Wikia Search, only a few days after telling a reporter that he and his team were "cranking away" at it.
