WeRelate is a wiki like this site. One significant difference is that everything on WeRelate is public whereas WikiTree protects a significant amount of information while people are living or have living relatives.
WeRelate is operated as a non-profit out of Utah, the Mormon world capital of genealogy. They solicit donations and have advertisements but the site is entirely free.
Much of WeRelate's information is taken directly from Wikipedia. This is especially true in their Places section. Wikipedia itself is often a better source for this sort of location information because it has continued to grow since WeRelate made its copy in 2006. For example, compare the WeRelate page for Fitchburg Massachusetts and the Wikipedia page.
They have begun to add more and more new information and they have a number of other interesting features. One is their search engine which goes beyond just WeRelate and searches other websites.
