Hi, I'm Steven Walling! I work with the Content Team here at AboutUs, working to develop our, as well as diving in to WikiCoaching those interested in having AboutUs write them a great wiki page. From top to bottom at AboutUs, I find it to be a unique and fascinating endeavor, and I'm elated to be here. The web is a complex place, and AboutUs is working to connect that dots between organizations to make the bigger picture clear - portal sponsorship is just one way of fostering this. In coaching those interested in growing their business with AboutUs, I'm living my dream: helping others discover the positive impact of wiki.  Elsewhere in the wikiverse, I'm primarily a relentless editor of Wikipedia under my username of VanTucky, I'm also a nominal user on WikiHow, Wikimedia Commons and Wikibooks. I was born and raised in Vancouver, Washington and attended the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics. Now happily residing in "Little Beirut", I've written film criticism for Willamette Week and am the Performance critic for the monthly alternative newspaper The Vancouver Voice.
Why we need AboutUs.org: a case studyAboutYou, AboutMe, AboutHim, AboutHer, AboutIt, AboutThem ... AboutUs!
After reading a great news story by the WCF Courier, I went hunting for some rather basic additional information. I wondered what the full name of the publication was, I wanted to know what region they served, what their distribution numbers where, what their email contact was, etc. It took me 15 minutes of surfing to discover that there was no page with this all of this information on their site. Where could I go next? Other news publications don't do guides to their regional competition, an encyclopedia wouldn't consider a local paper notable, and Google gives me thousands of hits to wade through. The answer: AboutUs. In less than five minutes, I found an accessible rundown of the paper that provided name and contact info in addition to placing the publication in the desired context of its physical location and within its industry. That's the magic of a good DomainPage on AboutUs. A little of my work
