DailyLit’s Wikipedia Tours
By Joe Wikert, a VP in the Professional/Trade division of John Wiley & Sons
I love it when a company takes action on a community-generated product idea. Three short months ago I wrote this blog post about an opportunity for someone to build a new content delivery model around the Wikipedia. That “someone” turned out to be DailyLit, an organization that already had the infrastructure in place to deliver the content model I described.
Earlier today, DailyLit President & CEO Susan Danzinger announced the new Wikipedia Tours service. They’re launching with 10 different subjects including Wonders of the World, Famous Inventors and one I already signed up for, Presidents of the United States. All of the products are currently free, but as I mentioned in that earlier post, I think they could eventually monetize some (if not all) of them.
Kudos to Susan and her team for quickly adding this service to the DailyLit product line!
