Saturday, October 16, 2004 Wiki THIS !A long time ago I promised to write a piece called 'why blogging is a crock.' It had do to with my sense that blogs had re-created -- in an incomplete way -- 'computer conferencing' from fifteen years before. My concern was that blogs force ideas into a chronological lock-step. I'd *planned* on arguing that while a diary is a good model for suggesting what's on 'the top of one's mind' on any one date, it's a poor model for organizing information. Good intentions notwithstanding, I never got 'round to it. In the meantime I've been watching the fast-forward evolution of wikis. Until (comparatively) recently, they've been hopelessly geeky - boy toys for people who spend __way__ too much time in front of their CRTs. It's changing. There are two recent entries into the almost-kinda-a-wiki based environments. One is EditMe (http://www.editme.com) and t'other is jotSpot (http://www.jotspot.com). The former received a PC-Magazine award for being a cool new idea/company -- the latter is still in Beta ... but early reviewers are pretty gushy about its potential. we'll see... ( Full Disclosure here: *my* money is still on the Real Soon Now release of OSF's "Chandler" platform/application) ------- AND - lest I forget to mention one of the most visible players in this opportunity-arena -- there's the company (and product) - SocialText.posted by Tom | 10:48 PM |
