Wikia is a website intended to help people create wikis devoted to their particular interests, where they can meet others that share that interest.[1] Wikia was founded by Jimmy Wales in 2001 and funded in part by advertising. A problem has been to keep people interested after the initial burst of excitement when their wiki is first created. Only 1% to 2% of these new wikis hang on after the initial rush.[2]
