Good question. The answer is both. Here are some of the reasons why companies add terms to TermWiki. # Net savvy companies want to enjoy the benefits of good SEO that TermWiki helps generate. When users search for terms on Google or other search engines for a particular industry, they are often directed to TermWiki. So by having those terms with the company’s name, product line, and URL on TermWiki, companies generate more opportunities for better marketing and sales. # Some companies want to take advantage of TermWiki’s crowd sourcing model by having their terms and definitions on the site for free improvement. This is also an excellent way for companies to receive feedback from the public and potential customers about the quality of existing lexicons, because each term can be rated and discussed. If a term consistently receives 2 star ratings, it may be time to change it. # Documentation and localization managers at different companies think TermWiki is a great way to obtain free translations of their terms. Having volunteer subject-matter experts translate those terms for a company is a great way to both engage the public and receive quality translations. # Individuals who are passionate about terminology work and knowledge sharing help drive this community-oriented site. TermWiki provides contributors with great online exposure: as their terms show up in search results, their user profiles are shown to potentially millions of visitors, which leads to better career opportunities and visibility for themselves. # Similar to Google and other search engines that crawl content all over the internet, TermWiki also has the ability to crawl terms, but with ordinary users instead of software programs. # Some companies use TermWiki.com as a free alternative to extremely expensive terminology management systems on the market. This also allows them to take advantage of TermWiki’s superior functionality, its excellent track record, as well as its collaborative features.
