We’re pleased to announce that Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales has joined forces with us. He’ll be on our Board of Directors and will also be an active advisor as we continue to develop the company. Jimmy shares his thoughts about this on his own blog.

We have always considered Wikipedia to be the gold standard to emulate in terms of fostering community involvement and generating substantive content that benefits millions. Internally we even like to think of ourselves as aspiring to be something along the lines of “Wikipedia for decision making.” So we couldn’t be happier to have Jimmy join Hunch and share his talents, vision and depth of experience with us.
