Wirearchy quotes CNET News.com's Martin LaMonica's story about collaboration and wikis:
[[Image:WikiBiosLogo.jpg|left]]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|comment]]</small>
: ''"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). <small>[[RecentChanges.info/Collaboration at work|comment]]</small>

How to use wiki for your projects

09-Jul-2006:

via O'Reilly Network comes a good basic Wiki 101 article:

"This article was written using a wiki, as were most of the 100 hacks in our book, Mind Hacks." ... "They're messy, immediate, and a powerful way of sharing thinking space with your collaborators.
Once you've used a wiki for a project, you'll find it hard to go back to regular methods. You'll find yourself using wiki syntax in emails, and your own WikiWords in conversation." article link

From Wikinews comes this story:

Yell, the worlds biggest yellow pages publisher, today threatened to shut down Yellowikis, the wiki based yellow pages directory.
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

WikiBios

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. comment
