Online Hitchhiker's Guide Thriving

An anonymous reader writes "A company bought the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy website (h2g2.com) back in 2011 after the BBC decided to dispose of it as part of a cost saving measure. Although it still isn't a complete guide to to Life, The Universe and Everything, it has just celebrated its 14th birthday as a constantly expanding, user-generated work."

    When I read the headline "Online Hitchhiker's Guide Thriving", I thought this was going to be about Hitchwiki, a wiki for hitchhiking tips and lore that has done much to advance this form of travel. Whenever I run into other hitchhikers when hitching out of a city, they almost always found the best waiting spot on Hitchwiki too. It is nice that community knowledge-sharing things like this are taking off, allowing people to travel more cheaply and much faster.
