Caring.com Gets $6 Million To Help With Your Parents' Elder Years
Details on the site are sparse, as the site is only now opening its beta. However, it will likely have the usual forum features and social networking profiles.
The team shouldn’t have too much trouble setting up the site since the founders, Jim Scott and Steve Fram spent eight years at BabyCenter, another community site targeting raising children. Sites like Caring.com seem to have a simple formula, find an underserved vertical, put up a community driven content management system, get some editors, and own the Google search results. Most of these sites are taking on specific verticals, but Wikia is spreading horizontally, using mediawiki as the CMS.
