About Wetpaint
Wetpaint, the leader in social publishing, is a Web 2.0 startup developing a social publishing platform that lets anyone build a rich, online community around the whatever-it-is that they’re really into. Utilizing the best features of wikis, blogs, message boards and social networks, Wetpaint mixes everything one would need so they and their friends can create, collect, and organize content on their own social website. Since the company’s June 2006 debut, close to 1,000,000 user-created community sites have been created. Wetpaint has also partnered with prominent consumer brands within the key categories of entertainment (Discovery Channel, FOX, Showtime, and Warner Bros.), technology (Dell, T-Mobile, HP, Oracle, and HTC), and lifestyle (Food & Wine, Executive Travel, Better Homes & Garden) to launch social website communities around their brands and products.
Located in a funky loft space in the historic Pioneer Square district of Seattle, we are a small company where collaboration and innovation are championed. Funded by the same venture capital firms backing Facebook and Photobucket, Wetpaint is well positioned to change the way people interact on the internet.
