A community portal about Wikis with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A wiki is a type of Web site that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for collaborative authoring. The term wiki also can refer to the collaborative software itself that facilitates the operation of such a Web site, or to certain specific wiki sites, including the computer science site WikiWikiWeb and on-line encyclopedias such as Wikipedia.

Last night’s London Wiki Wednesday was quite a success. About 40 people packed in to a room that was really only intended for about 25, but that just made it all a bit more friendly and fun. My thanks to Philip Woodgate of Goodman Jones for providing the room and the food, and Daren Oliver of Fitzrovia IT who provided the technical support on projectors and the network. The folks at Stormhoek made this a relaxed and civilised occasion with some great examples of their wine. You can see...

Wikis have been one of my key interests for more than four years now, because they bring a new level of interactivity to websites and web-based communities.
My own hands-on project in the world of wikis is Wikipages, a wiki-based local business directory that currently focuses on New York City.
Over the past year, Wikipages traffic has grown steadily as it has been linked to by bloggers and bookmarking sites. Its listings have grown to include hundreds of businesses in the city, with a...
