The site, in 2007
A video streaming site for Asian television, with subtitles written by volunteer fans. The name blends video and wiki.
Volunteers translate shows into around 200 languages, roughly 50 of them vulnerable or endangered. Founded in 2007, it was bought by the Japanese company Rakuten in 2013.
In 2007: Founded this year by Razmig Hovaghimian, Changseong Ho and Jiwon Moon, with money from Neoteny Labs and LinkedIn's co-founder Reid Hoffman.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
