With the breadth, depth and trustworthiness to warrant billions of pageviews monthly, Wikipedia is a cause célèbre in the techy community. It began with fits and starts, but has since blossomed to become a place where anyone at any time can settle (almost) any bet. Tracing the meteoric rise of Wikipedia over its first 10 […]

I spoke with Svetlana on how she is making a sizable seat at the table for herself by building a media empire, what it took to get there and what she would change if she had to do it all over again.
