Wikibon compares itself to technology research services such as Gartner and International Data Corporation. Unlike them, its research is available under a GNU General Public License. Wikibon's research is created and made available in the form of a wiki, enabling contributors to post content, add to existing content, and offer changes and amendments.[3]
In 2008, Wikibon introduced “Conserve IT”, to help IT companies and customers qualify for rewards from Pacific Gas and Electric Company for installing energy-efficient equipment.[4]
Wikibon holds calls to allow IT practitioners to share information it calls Peer Incite.[5] Wikibon creates and shares infographics, and covers topics such as cloud computing, big data, and virtualization on its blog.[6][7] Forbes magazine called a Wikibon report estimating the size of the "big data" market "groundbreaking" in 2012.[8]
