Oondi.com - Part Writers Forum, Part Wikipedia

According to descriptions on Oondi’s web pages, the site serves two different functions: it is a forum for authors to focus on writing (rather than marketing content) and to receive 100% of advertising revenue garnered by their article, and it is simultaneously a Wikipedia-like site, to provide readers with user-submitted, high quality information. What results is a web portal that produces a variety of content, ranging from academic essays like “Debunking Gender Stereotypes: Men, Women and Violence” to the top rated story of all time, “5 Facts about Burning Body Fat You Should Know.” Oondi is free to use and constantly updated.

“Oondi offers readers free information on every subject imaginable. Writers are offered a place to publish their portfolio and are paid for quality content.”

Oondi offers readers thoughtful and intelligent articles. A natural system is in place to weed out articles that are not of interest or not relevant to readers; the higher ratings an article receives, the more likely it is to be read and displayed.

While Oondi CAN be both a place for authors to write without needing to market themselves AND a alternative Wikipedia, the messaging needs to be clarified and fine-tuned so that authors and visitors are not confused.
