Wetpaint was a wiki farm which offered free hosted wiki websites to anyone who wanted to create one. Wetpaint's product offered visual (WYSIWYG) editing and threaded comments, using its own unique wiki engine. It was financially supported by contextual advertising. Wetpaint wiki sites were editable (obviously), but the edit button is in near the top left, unlike MediaWiki wikis. Wiki sites that utilised Wetpaint technology included wikiCancer, wikiFido, BobDylanwiki, wikiGOP, Independent Film Database, Everything Wiki, and a public testing site entitled wikiSandbox. Wetpaint licensed third-party use of the Collective Content and Submissions under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 3.0 unported license (CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0).[1]

The wiki company, wetpaint.com, inc., was located in Seattle, State of Washington, United States of America. It received its initial venture capital funding from Trinity Ventures and Frazier Technology Ventures.

Wetpaint launched its private beta program in March 2006, and became publicly accessible in June 2006. In March 2006, Wetpaint was named the winner of the 'Wikis (Hosted)' category by the SEOmoz Web 2.0 Awards. The award stated: "Wetpaint promises to be a gorgeous wiki with easy to edit pages and a customizable look. It's a community-oriented project that demonstrates a number of uses and great potential for growth."[2]

Sometime during July 2013, the entire collection of Wetpaint wiki sites were sold to a new company: WikiFoundry, Inc. Transition to this new company was scheduled for approximately one week, and all existing Wetpaint wiki sites would be transferred to the new WikiFoundry.com domain, continuing as a sub-domain in the same format as Wetpaint, ie; wikiCancer.Wetpaint.com moved to wikiCancer.WikiFoundry.com. Wetpaint hosted wiki site redirects to WikiFoundry.com for one year. From late 2014, the Wetpaint wiki site, along with all wiki sites remaining on the Wetpaint.com domain were taken offline for good.
