They accused Yellowikis co-founders Paul Youlten and Rosa Blaus (his 15 year-old daughter) of "misrepresentation", "passing off" and suggested that using the name Yellowikis could "constitute an 'instrument of fraud'" read more

Collaboration at work

June 27, 2006

Wirearchy quotes CNET News.com's Martin LaMonica's story about collaboration and wikis:

"This way of capturing collaborative wisdom, collective knowledge is a different take on knowledge management, which was fundamentally flawed" (said IBM Lotus Division general manager Michael Rhodin).

A knowledge revolution that has hardly begun

June 26, 2006

An excellent article, The Independent: New Media: Who are the real winners now we've all gone Wiki-crazy?

What wiki does for its users is what blogging did for web publishing: it provides an easy, quick, means to an end. In the words of Ward Cunningham, an author and an inventor of wiki technology: "Wiki does for knowledge what the assembly line does for material."

Refreshing to see others with the hopeful vision, nice work Ana Kronschnabel and Thomas Rawlings
