Ok, I have made a lot of votings and after reading the lizens again I'm a bit nervous because it is not open source.
An service like this cost a lot of money. Server, internet connection, people who work for Against Intuition Oy, Itälahdenkatu 27 A, 00210 Helsinki, Finland.
How will you make money to hold this service free and alive?
Because I will not see something again like the Gracenote action which took all ID3 tags from its users and then made them pay for it.
No answer for this question?
Is there no answer for this question?
The only people that could
The only people that could answer this for you, would be the WOT staff .... who for some reason, have chosen thus far, not to.
Financing of WOT
Sorry about the delayed answer, we are in the middle of the vacation period right now. WOT is funded by private and institutional investors. As most of Web 2.0 companies we do have revenue at this early stage of our life - our primary focus is on growing the user population. We have a healthy financial position and solid business plan for the future so you don't have to be worried.
If you want to support us, the best way to do is to invite your friends to join the WOT community. Secondly, visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3456#reviews and give a positive rating and review for us if you like WOT. We a recommended add-on by Mozilla and positive reviews help us to retain the status.
Thanks Esa for the reply
It's good to hear that WOT users need not to worry. Good luck and more power again.

spreading WOT
i think the best way to keep WOT alive is by spreading it through invitations, and also rating new sites so at the end all the websites would be rated.
You got the point!
Limo corp, you are absolutely right! If you like the system, please send personal email messages to couple of your friends and invite them to join WOT.
