<p><strong>I&#8217;ve witnessed the downfall of Wikia due to its increased reliance on advertising first hand in the past year.</strong> Whilst I don&#8217;t want to dwell on <a href="http://blog.illogicopedia.org/2008/11/indie-logicopedia-updatification.html" target="_blank">the events of precisely one year ago</a>, I decided to breifly revisit the subject with a general account of what happened from my point of view. It can be found <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/wikia_wikipedia_and_advertising" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a>, and is the first piece I&#8217;ve published at HubPages.com, an online content hub (as it were) for writers and businesspeople to post articles.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been somewhat painful, though I hope to have exorcised one or two demons. Hmm, I know that&#8217;s unlikely, but it was nice to <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/wikia_wikipedia_and_advertising" target="_blank">vent my spleen again</a>.</p>
