'''ooBdoo''' (pronounced oo-bee-doo) was a wiki site information hub on the internet. It was a {{tag|commercial}} site in as much as it is funded by the discrete {{tag|advertising}} you see on every page, plus donations. It is totally independent and impartial and rigorously strives to ensure that it always remains so. In many ways it mirrors [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] from which many of it's articles have been seeded, however it is not an [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]] in the normal sense for it only provides information on key topics. These key topics are defined by ooBdoo. It also goes further by allowing anyone to commercially promote themselves or their business as long as the information they supply is of benefit (in the eyes of ooBdoo) to the public. Straight forward advertising of a product or service is not allowed but articles of useful information with reference links to websites are. To guarantee that articles contain correct information it is requested that all articles are written/edited by those people who are regarded as experts in their particular field. Or if the article is about a living person then by the actual person the article is about! | {{tag|Founded in 2006}}, '''ooBdoo''' (pronounced oo-bee-doo) was a wiki site information hub on the internet.
