Topix (website)
Topix is an American internet news media company. Topix LLC, the controlling company, has its headquarters in Palo Alto, California.〔"(About Topix )." Topix. Retrieved on September 19, 2011.〕
Topix began as a news aggregator which categorizes news stories by topic and geography. "Topix.net" as it was originally known as, was created by Bryn Dole, Rich Skrenta, Bob Truel, Tom Markson, Mike Markson and Chris Tolles, many of whom founded the Open Directory Project. In March 2005, the Knight Ridder (later taken over by The McClatchy Company), Tribune Company and Gannett media companies purchased a 75% share of the company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = March 2005 )〕 On April 1, 2007, it acquired the topix.com domain name and invited volunteers to edit the topics of their choice, on top of over 100 journalists and editors from various newspapers already signed up. Sometime in 2012 they took that volunteer edit option away without any communication to the thousands of volunteers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = April 2007 )〕
Topix went on to create a community news editing platform, and popular forum system, allowing users to comment on news articles and the goings on of local communities. Topix also created forums, organized by locality as well as by subject matter, which allow visitors to post comments whether or not they are relevant to a particular news story.
==History==
The founders of Topix initially wanted it to be a news aggregator, with specific pages for every community in the United States. As Topix matured, most of its growth occurred in small cities and towns in the United States. The people who commented in the Topix forums wanted to focus the discussions on more traditional small community gossip.〔Sulzberger, A. G.
