Wikitravel, World66 Acquired By Internet Brands

This is pretty interesting, two independent wiki communities for travel, Wikitravel and World66, have been acquired by Internet Brands.

(Best known for Cars Direct).

Links: Wikitravel, World66

They both reach 2 million visitors a month and 10,000 editorial contributions per week. Internet Brands focuses on large ticket purchases, and with the level of engagement a wiki community has, it makes sense. Wikitravel is CC licensed, so the community has some say, and it will be interesting to see their reaction. Terms of the deal are not disclosed, but if you find them you could add them to this wiki page.
