Wikipedia Gets Donation from Google

The Internet’s most popular encyclopedia, WIkipedia gets $2 million donation via WIkimedia Foundation, the non-profit group that oversees the seven year old volunteer-driven reference tool. Google, Inc., known as the most profitable company in the Internet, announced yesterday its support by matching the $2 million donation of Ebay six months ago.

Wikipedia is an advertising-free website that gets its revenue from donations and contributions from its readers and sponsors. Google in its statement through co-founder Sergey Brin, acclaims Wikipedia as “one of the greatest triumphs of the Internet”.
