<< review queue entry 69344 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) The URL www.witkey.com doesn't seem to work anymore. 2) "question-and-answer website" makes it sound like Quora, but that doesn't match what Wp and LA say. 3) Rather than being a specific website ("Witkey"), 威客 refers to a type of *person*, according to LA and Wp. Wp ~ 主要指一群通過網絡平台將自己的知識、技能、專長、經驗等等提供給別人並且換取實際的經濟收益的人。 LA ~ 指運用自己的智慧、知識、能力和經驗，在網際網路上為他人解決工作、學習、生活等方面問題而換取經濟收益的人。 4) LA says this sort of person is called a "witkey" in English, but that's not a word I ever hear used, nor is it a word in Merriam-Webster, American Heritage, or Oxford dictionaries. 5) Usage where 威客 refers to a person: - 任務允許多位威客同時完成任務， - 我是一位威客，入驻的是一品威客网。 - 僱主指定某一位或多位威客進行任務， - 无论是设计写作，还是软件开发、营销推广等，每一位威客都能在智慧的创造中发挥才能、创造价值，为有需求的企业或个人服务。 This article refers to 威客's as people: http://www.china.org.cn/china/national/2008-10/10/content_16596710.htm e.g. "...said they would consider working either part-time or full-time as a Witkey." Other articles: "Twenty months after he fired his boss on April 6 last year, Gao, 24, earns more than 60,000 yuan ($8,823) - three times his previous white-collar salary - as what Chinese call a "witkey" or wei ke in pinyin." "Witkey refers to a person who relies on his ability (wisdom and creativity) in the Internet age to sell his wealthy working hours and labor results on the Internet and get paid. [...] If you want to become a freelancer, you have to register an account on a freelancer-related website and start your own freelance journey." 6) "Originated in China in 2005." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%A8%81%E5%AE%A2 |
