Aboutus.org – What Do You Think?
I’ve just noticed the “aboutus.org” wiki. It looks as though they are trying to put together information on every domain.
AboutUs is a fully editable wiki, a type of Web site, that has been prepopulated with information about several million websites. Enter a domain name in the search box (for example: “Yahoo.com” or “AboutUs.org”) and see what comes up!

However, it’s competely open and anyone could add whatever they want. It could become a destination spot for spammers, trolls, and stalkers. They do log the IP of the person who changes an entry, but no registration or login is required.
What do you think? Free advertising or soft surveillance? Information being free or future source of manipulation? Comments, criticisms?
