The vision of AboutUs hinges on the power of collaboration and the unique capacity of wiki technology to capture the coming together of communities.

Because no other single resource is as powerful as the one that can tap into the knowledge of every visitor, AboutUs stands front and center as one of the most valuable information resources on the web. By synthesizing informational and commercial sites, AboutUs creates a vibrant community asset.

The AboutUs MissionStatement is: To promote Wiki in a way that rekindles the spirit of worldwide collaboration and unleashes people's full potential to build things worth building. AboutUs provides the venue, tools and infrastructure to support the community's vision.

AboutUs warmly welcomes the community to join us in that effort!

“ WOW, Amazing! You did an excellent job!!! We are very impressed with the work you all did, and are going to be ordering another one of these right away. ”

The site was pre-populated with information about many different websites and thousands of updates are being made by people each day.

edit Our Commitment

We encourage all to log in and edit the AboutUs wiki. This is how AboutUs can tap into the knowledge of those who choose to contribute. It does however leave AboutUs vulnerable to spam attacks. In order to protect the integrity of the resource and to engage with the editors, AboutUs patrols every edit made to its more than 10 million pages. In late January 2007 the edits per day broke the 1000 mark. In early April 2007, there were over 3000 edits per day. AboutUs is committed to reviewing each of those edits and welcomes every new person who creates an account. We welcome you!


“ I love the exchange of opinions ”

edit Cheryl L's Comments on AboutUs.org

  • Cheryl L (delighted) : I noticed you advertised a Shopping Mall called Mnworks.com. I had trouble seeing the pages and emailed the Mall Manager and was very pleased with his quick response, he assured me it would be fixed immediately and apologized for any inconvenience. . I have viewed it now, I believe it is great concept... and hope his mall does well. We need more honest websites to shop in without being redirected. . 15:00, 19 May 2008 (PDT)

edit NickBurrus's Comments on AboutUs.org

NickBurrus (delighted) : Six months...wow. Time flies; I have evolved from trying to figure out what the heck was the edit button or how to make italics in wiki code into a wiki expert with ever going projects. I plan on staying; and wish to say thanks to all those folks at AboutUs!


I rarely support a commercial company, but the philosophy of this company is to die for. Wonderful community, fun times on IRC and via wiki; conference calls that actually MAKE SENSE and is not a turn around table dodging the question. These folks get the work done.


This is amazing; and I respect this. Thanks! 23:39, 20 May 2008 (PDT)
