Baike.com (), formerly Hudong and Hoodong, is a for-profit social network in China, including the world's largest Chinese encyclopedia/news website.〔〔 It is China's largest wiki site, using paid advertising,〔(Innovative Chinese wiki software: interview with Hoodong ), 10 December 2007〕 with over 7 million articles and more than 5 million volunteers, as of April 2013.〔〔(How Hudong Thumped Wikipedia in China ), TNW, 24 November 2009〕 However, Baike.com is a news/neologism encyclopedia,〔 and hence, it does not restrict articles to only long-term, sourced text with balanced point-of-view content. The contributors agree to release their writings with perpetual royalty-free license to publish their content, but it is not free for re-use on other websites.〔 As of September 2015, it had more than 13.49 million articles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.baike.com/ )〕 ==History== Baike.com was founded in 2005 by CEO Pan Haidong, who had moved back to China after earning a Ph.D. in systems engineering from Boston University in 2002. Baike.com, a 2007 RedHerring 100 Asia company, developed its own wiki software platform, called HDWiki, as a rival to MediaWiki. The system has some social networking-like interactive features, such as user profile, friends and groups. The first version was released in November 2006 and by November 2007 version 3 with added functions, features, and more stability was released.〔(Red Herring 100 Asia, 2007 )〕 The HDWiki software is free for non-commercial use, has been downloaded 200,000 times and currently supports over 1,000 other web sites in China (as of December 2007), consisting mostly of tech researchers, open source software groups, government, universities, and high school students. In 2011 it was announced that Draper Fisher Jurvetson had invested $15 million in Baike.com.〔 On 22 February 2012 Baike.com submitted a complaint to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce asking for a review of the behavior of Baidu, accusing it of being monopolistic.〔Yang, Yang (杨阳 ''Yáng Yáng''). Translated by Guo Wei. "(China's "Wikipedia" Submits Complaint about Baidu )." ((Archive )) ''Economic Observer''. 4 March 2011. Issue 508, Corporation, Page 28. Retrieved on 26 October 2012.
