WIKIA LAUNCHES NEW FRENCH QUESTION AND ANSWER SERVICE – WIKIREPONSES
Introduction of New French Site Further Expands Wikia’s Existing Q&A Offerings in English, German, Italian and Spanish
MONTE CARLO, Monaco, November 12, 2009 – Wikia, Inc., the company that brings together millions of people to create and discover engaging content on every topic, today announced the official launch of Wikiréponses http://reponses.wikia.com, the French version of Wikia’s Question and Answer service. Already, Wikiréponses has captured hundreds of questions and answers and has attracted a large audience. Visitors to the beta site grew more than 50% in just the last month.
“The response rate of nearly 80% of the questions answered by the Wikia community demonstrates people’s interest in talking about what they know and by doing so, helping others,” said Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikia. “As home to some of the Internet’s premier fan sites such as Lostpedia (http://lostpedia.wikia.com), Wikihowto (http://howto.wikia.com), and the Recipe Wiki (http://recipe.wikia.com), Wikia attracts people with broad interests, but they all have one thing in common: they are passionate about their interests and want to share their knowledge with others.”
Wikiréponses has questions and answers on topics as diverse as travel, car repair, cuisine, entertainment, and games. Wikia’s Question and Answer sites now reach over one million monthly visitors.
Wikia’s introduction of Wikiréponses is an expansion in Wikia’s Question and Answer service. The other sites include: - Wikianswers in English: http://answers.wikia.com - Frag Wikia in German http://frag.wikia.com - WikiRisposte in Italian http://risposte.wikia.com - WikiRespuestas in Spanish http://respuestas.wikia.com
