Wikipedia Co-founder to relaunch 'WikiTribune' as a social network

Wikipedia Co-founder Jimmy Wales is relaunching 'WikiTribune' as "WT:Social", a social-networking and news sharing site. WikiTribune was launched as an online publication meant to combat fake news with original stories by reporters and "citizen journalists". Wales said he hopes WT:Social, which will be funded by user donations and not advertising, will be an alternative to Facebook and Twitter.
