MindTouch Ctrl-Z’s Wiki.com
Back around MinneDemo 1, Aaron Fulkerson presented MindTouch’s enterprise wiki software at wiki.com.
According to their press release:
Yes, the same wiki.com that Gotts bought for $3 million.
I was there when you said,”What is this 1999? $3 million for a domain name? That’s crazy.”
Well, in fact it is. As of this writing, wiki.com forwards to wik.is.
“John Gotts, the owner of Wiki.com, has agreed to transfer all wiki sites to MindTouch. The agreement does not include the Wiki.com domain….our technology powered Wiki.com from the beginning and we are intimately familiar with the backend…We’ll be providing additional details shortly on the new domain, features, and services.” - Aaron Fulkerson
Mike Arrington speculates a bunch. ValleyWag predicted the John Gotts, the owner of wiki.com would walk away before the bill came due.
Coincidently, Aaron moves to San Diego.

[…] Yes, I feel like I’ve mentioned I’m leaving MN here a dozen times. It’s probably getting tiresome me always talking about this. But this post is necessary because I’ve got to supply a post regarding my going home (un)celebration that we had at the Loring Pasta Bar last Friday. I noticed my depature was mentioned here. I wish I had had a chance to meet or get to know this Garrick guy. I remember seeing him once and thinking: "he looks cool, where did he get that name?" I mean come on, he sounds like a medieval baron or something: Garrick Van Buren. I know he’s into podcasting. That’s cool. Anyway, like I talk about in response to PeteE’s comments I feel like I’m leaving the cities with things not quite finished. I’m not going to mull over that again though. Instead I’ll just share photos of the event and a review of the restaurant. […]
