Mike reports that the poorly-named WikiCities - Jimmy Wales' for-profit project - has rebranded itself as "Wikia" and received $4 million in Series A funding. From the site:
Wikia are wiki communities creating free content with the MediaWiki software. These are hosted for free by Wikia, Inc., the company which runs the project. Anyone is free to start a new Wikia in accordance with the creation policy and terms of use. Wikia was founded by Angela Beesley and Jimmy Wales in October 2004. It celebrated its first birthday on November 2, 2005.
