    <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>    WetPaint, a popular hosted Wiki solution, announced this week that they are to provide person-to-person and private messaging between users of their Wiki network. This means that Wetpaint Wiki users can now send single or multi-person private messages, to connect and collaborate with others about their interest

  • it got me thinking about Wikis - or more to the point, who is using them and for what purpose. Firstly, I'll briefly describe wikis and then we'll explore the range of wiki products in the market right now.

wikis wiki web2.0

    • Wiki sites generally fall into a few basic categories:


      • General - Meatball Wiki, C2 (the original wiki!)
      • Reference - Wikipedia, Ask Dr. Wiki, Wikispecies
      • Communities - These are countless, both public and private,
        and serve niche communities like residents of a specific town, members of a professional
        organization         or fans of The Muppets.
      • Business - The vast majority of these are password
        protected or live behind corporate firewalls. Perhaps one of the fastest growing
        categories of wiki, businesses are increasingly using wikis to centralize
        knowledge, cut down on email and connect employees within an office and around
        the world.
      • Personal - Many individuals use a wiki as a personal online
        notebook. Wikis make a convenient spot to keep notes, information and documents
        online, particularly if you want to be able to update and search your
        information from any web-connected computer.

Computers, along with multimedia software and hardware, help us express our ideas as animations, video poems, slide shows, interactive movies, virtual environments, and other forms yet to be created. As we create these new texts, we are changing how we define literacy."
