Jack Herrick
Jack Herrick (born June 2, 1969) is an American entrepreneur and wiki enthusiast. His entrepreneurial projects include wikiHow, eHow, Luminescent Technologies, and BigTray.
In January 2005, Herrick started wikiHow with the goal of creating "the how-to guide for everything" because "providing people with a practical education is one of the most empowering things you can offer a person."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WikiNews: Jack Herrick, wikiHow founder interviewed )〕 As of December 2009, wikiHow was read by 20 million visitors per month.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TechCrunch: WikiHow Gets Pretty, And Hits 20 Million Monthly Visitors )〕 At wikiHow, Herrick was noted for introducing opt-out advertising,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WebProNews: Can Your Business Benefit By Letting Users Hide Ads? )〕 co-developing the Universal Edit Button,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WebMonkey: Wikis Rally Around Universal Edit Button )〕 building a collaborative online environment,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=San Jose Mercury News: WikiHow tries to help )〕 and combining business with social good.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SocialBrite: Incentives for Doing Good )〕
Prior to starting wikiHow, Herrick ran eHow, a popular how-to website now owned by Demand Media. Herrick sold eHow after concluding the wiki method of content creation would ultimately produce higher quality work. He described the difference between eHow and wikiHow as "eating a McDonald's burger vs. a wonderful, home cooked meal."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ReadWriteWeb: wikiHow vs. eHow: Is the Wiki Way Better Than Content Farms )〕
Herrick is also on the Board of Directors for StatusNet, an open source microblogging company, and the Board of Advisors for Mixer Labs, a startup acquired by Twitter. Prior to focusing on building how-to manuals, Herrick was a co-founder of Luminescent Technologies, a computational semiconductor lithography company, and BigTray, an online marketplace for restaurant supplies. Herrick received a degree in history from Stanford University and a degree from Dartmouth College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LinkedIn Profile of Jack Herrick )〕
