EbayWiki Beta

30-Jul-2006

The site is in beta, but it is already a vibrant wiki. This is because eBay users are already such a large group, and wiki's thrive where there is already a community.

Hooze Beta

24-Jul-2006

At OSCamp this morning, I spent some time with EthanMcCutchen and LewisHoffman learning more about the Hooze.com and wagging. Hooze is focused on consumers and in particular, helping them create a shared and voice which may point companies in a directions that are more aligned with their consumers. Imagine having access to a huge collaboratively built database of consumer experience right at the point of purchase — that would be valuable.

Space Debate

19-Jul-2006

SpaceDebate is a collaborative site whose aim is to create a structured “argument tree” which more clearly shows the various points of view on US military space policy. It claims to be like Wikipedia, but I think the similarity is more conceptual than functional. What’s neat is that it allows people with different points of view to air their differences and come out smarter and possibly even on the same page.

The ability to build consensus among people who are geographically diverse and not operating in the same time zones is really exciting and I think this site is one of many to come. read more

-[[Image:WikiBiosLogo.jpg|left|150px]]More and more creative ideas are being thought of every day. [[WikiBios]] allow people to create a stub of a biography and then have their friends, family and co-workers edit it to perfection … or honesty! I’m not sure what Wiki Engine it uses, but what is neat is that they’ve gone beyond basic wiki added functionality that really makes this specific application sing. For example, on a given page, you’ll see links for “People I know”, “Bio’s I’ve edited” and “My Editors”. That’s rich because allows the user to quickly browse around various circles of people. I’m impressed and think this will do well. <small>[[RecentChanges.info/WikiBios|read more]]</small>
