Will Wikipedia Run Out of Money and Disappear

<< < (3/3)

They probably will imitate Mozilla - find some big daddy like Google and put worries to rest.

mouser:
making google their daddy would end financial worries and stir up a huge well-deserved hornets nest of others. :-\

dk70:
It would but other players than Google - dont think a search engine is good example. Google probably would like to though! I just heard that woman in charge of PR saying reason they bought Youtube was embeeded clips are all over the web! Wikipedia must have caught their eyes as well so possible target. Can almost see a "Keep Wikipedia free"  movement ;) Some rich guy with no direct interests in internet services would be perfect.

Project with a fraction of Wikipedias impact/importance gets funded with much more money. May be they have such policies  "investors" have no interest and cry for help is based on reality? Usually such people want something in return, hard for Wikipedia to deliver perhaps.
