Dealipedia.com - The Business Wiki

What do MP3.com, Linspire, and SIPphone have in common? They were all created by Michael Robertson who now has another venture on the table. His latest startup is called Dealipedia. It’s a wiki that specializes in deals. Robertson wanted to fill the void on business deal data. The site includes news, merges and acquisitions, venture investments, IPO’s, bankruptcies, gossip and a plethora of other wiki goodies. Dealipedia is structured in the basic wiki format: users contribute news, articles, and facts to the site all the while building a veritable encyclopedia/database of business. Robertson recruited his friends to submit the initial fodder for the site. Unlike Wikipedia, Dealipedia submissions follow a more rigid structure with predefined fields for entry. This allows for a faster and more efficient search and advanced search. The site is still in its initial stages, but so far categories include, deals, “Who Made Money”, companies, and a hall of fame. There’s also a free weekly newsletter.

 
  In their own words  

”After continually getting frustrated that I couldn't find historic data on business deals or easily keep track of new deals without reading a dozen different publications I decided to remedy the problem by launching Dealipedia - a business wiki for mergers, acquisitions, venture investments, IPO and other deals. We're launching with nearly 20,000 deals, but also never before revealed info like how much Yahoo paid for Flickr, how much Google paid for Grandcentral and how much the founders of Myspace made in their sale to News Corp.”

  Why it might be a killer  

Dealipedia may just work. Bloggers, journalists, and business types would most likely find the site interesting and contribute. It could be a boon for information.

  Some questions  

Wikis usually don’t work. Will Dealipedia be able to get over the wiki woes? Will enough users want to contribute to it?
