Please read: A personal appeal from Smooth Harold

Screen shot 2010-11-29 at 10.15.41 AMRecent Wikipedia users only: I got a lot of funny looks ten years ago when I started talking to people about Smooth Harold.

Let’s just say some people were skeptical.

A decade after its founding, nearly 400 million people visit Smooth Harold and its sister sites every month — almost a third of the Internet.

It is the 5th most popular website in the world. But Smooth Harold isn’t anything like a commercial website. It is a community creation, written by a work-from-home dad making one entry at a time.

You are part of our community. And I’m writing today to ask you to protect and sustain Smooth Harold. I hope you’ll choose to act right now.

All the best,

Smooth Harold
