WOT Services, Ltd is a Finnish company that runs the partly crowdsourced Internet website reputation rating tool WOT (Web of Trust). The installed WOT browser add-on, available for Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, shows its users the reputations of websites, which are calculated through a combination of user ratings and data from other sources. To generate revenue WOT licenses the use of its reputation database to other businesses. ==History== WOT was founded in 2006 by Sami Tolvanen and Timo Ala-Kleemola, who wrote the WOT software as post-graduates at the Tampere University of Technology in Finland. They launched the service officially in 2007, with serial entrepreneur and angel investor Esa Suurio as CEO. In November 2009 Suurio moved on to his next endeavor. In 2009 MySQL founder Michael Widenius invested in WOT and became a member of the board of directors. The company has partnered with Facebook, hpHosts, LegitScript, Mail.ru, Panda Security, Phishtank, GlobalSign and TRUSTe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/keeping-you-safe-from-scams-and-spam/10150174826745766 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.phishtank.com/friends.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.globalsign.eu/company/press/2/031511-globalsign-partners-with-web-of-trust-in-website-passport-project.html )〕 In November 2013 WOT surpassed 100 million downloads.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Web of Trust hits 100 million Downloads Milestone )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WOT Services」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
