At War on Wikipedia

Schilling is the man who protects Hillary’s online self from the public’s hatred. He estimates that he spends up to 15 hours per week editing Wikipedia under the name “Wasted Time R”–much of it, these days, standing watch over Hillary’s page. Hardly a news event or argument over her situation goes by without […]

The Curse of YASN

“And about those profiles. As anticipated, Wikia Search is yet another social network. User profiles include basic elements like a photo, adding friends, and information about interests and skills. And in a direct rip off of Facebook, Wikia Search profiles contain an activity stream of stuff you and your friends have been up […]

McNealy Spends Retirement Pitching Curriki

I was at a friends house over the weekend and Curriki came up, but until I read about it today I really didn’t know much about it. It is essentially a directed wiki with a social mission, a combination that is pretty powerful in total. In looking through the site it does look like an […]

Most wikis only go to 10, mine goes to 11

I read this puff piece on a Portland company (via techmeme) that is hosting a wiki about other websites. Yeah, you read that right… the business is a wiki that has information about websites. The only reason I’m bothering to write about this is to point out how press release journalism does no favors for […]

“The good news is that the authorities at Wikipedia quickly identitifed and edited the article on their site,” said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. “Unfortunately, however, the previous version […]

Google Acquires JotSpot, Socialtext Provides Free Migration

Google acquires JotSpot and what ensues is surely to be 2 years of confusion while they figure out what to do with it, how to handle customers (they shut off registrations for new accounts), and what the impact to their existing product strategy is. This is a great opportunity for Socialtext to provide a safe […]

Sales Meets Wiki

Great example but it really only works when 1) there is a critical mass of people paying attention to the wiki workspace, and 2) they are comfortable editing the pages. This is the biggest challenge for deploying wikis in the enterprise, the first is largely mandate but it also hinges on putting the resources to […]

User Experience, Socialtext 2.0, and Web Services

Socialtext released version 2.0 of their enterprise wiki today, and it’s not just a thinly veiled attempt to climb higher up on the 2.0 bandwagon, it really is an extensively updated release of their flagship product.

As many of you know, I have been associated with Socialtext for a long time now, first as a wiki […]

Wired Wiki - Wired Wiki

This is pretty interesting, Wired put an article about wikis up for review as a wiki. Anyone can edit it, but not change any of the quotes, and be listed as an editor when it goes to print.

Wikis That Work Series

I needed a little help getting my new phone configured for T-Mobile’s service in my area… forget figuring anything out on the TMO website… so I went to the always trusty forums on HowardForums. Rarely has there been a question that I have not found an answer to by searching or posting to this forum. […]
