Welcome!


Hi Thegibbonator, welcome to MyWikiBiz. We're happy that you've taken the steps to become a member of our site. MyWikiBiz is a directory where any person, any company, any product, or any thing can author their own legacy. We seek to provide the space for 265 million entities. Our registered editors like you have generated over 60,000 pages so far -- help keep that number growing with an article about yourself, your business, your industry, your favorite product, hobby, or organization. Since 2008, MyWikiBiz.com has served up over 1 million page views. Get started authoring your legacy today!

Helpful tips

Here are some tips on how to create a Directory listing and take advantage of the semantic web features we have in place:

  • You may write as an opinionated advocate in the Directory -- neutral view is not required. You can sell products, promote videos, upload documents, even host your own Google AdSense ads. This auto-fill form will guide you through creating a very basic directory listing right now.
  • Because MyWikiBiz supports Semantic Web technology, search engine results are highly optimized. Internal searches can also be performed that wouldn't be possible on Google, MySpace, or Wikipedia.

A few favorite pages that might help acquaint a new user with the possibilities are found among the Demonstration links, or in these articles written by independent reviewers.

Grudges with ScoreHero

Thegibbonator, welcome to MyWikiBiz. Just so you know the back story... I went well out of my way to ask a Wikipedia admin to recover the deleted Wikipedia article about ScoreHero. I then posted it on my site here. When I noted that the ScoreHero forum was talking about retrying Wikipedia with an article, I went on their forum to tell them that their previous article was still available here, and to give a little advice about not trying to "promote" a topic on Wikipedia, since that's the #1 way to get the Wikipediot "locals" in a huff against your topic.

Well, some member (or was he a moderator) on ScoreHero's forum decided to insult me for "promoting" my website on "their" message board. I replied that this was rather ungrateful. And in a few hours, my ScoreHero forum account was "banned" from their site. I cannot even read the ScoreHero forums any more -- all I see is a message that I am blocked.

My "grudge" here was intended to motivate someone -- anyone -- from the ScoreHero community to take enough interest to work on the article here, otherwise, what's the point in even hosting it on this site, if nobody cares enough to caretake it? That being said, I'm glad my stubborn reaction did in fact motivate you to "fix" the situation. Are you a ScoreHero member or moderator? -- MyWikiBiz 05:34, 19 July 2008 (PDT)
