In early November 2008, I added an entry to Wikipedia detailing what WebNotes is and how it came to life. I poured well over 2 hours into this post, detailing what I thought to be the perfect content, learning how to use Wikipedia, and formatting the article to my liking.
Within about 24 hours, it was deleted as being spam.
Mind you, I do work for WebNotes so I probably am a bit biased, but I honestly had made an effort to be as neutral as possible. I notified Wikipedia and was told that any article must be news in and of itself, and that purely because a company exists does not make it news-worthy.
And so I waited. We launched on December 10th, 2008, were covered by magazines, hundreds of blogs, and even on-air at CNBC. Enough time had passed, and enough news generated, so that at long last, I bring you our Wikipedia article. It’s nothing fancy, but I invite all of you to edit and add to it.
