Jerry Michalski and I have been weaving wiki ways into our corporate consulting co-presentations quiteregularly lately. Jerry is as on fire as I am about creating clearer channels of communication and collaboration forcorporations (love that alliteration!).
Therefore, we were both quitejazzed to see that Rob Hof writes a very positive piece forBusinessWeek Wikis' Winning Ways.
And, our favorite client presentation environment Socialtext, receives kudosfor being "...a fairly buttoned-down service…" and a good wiki starting point for corporations. Most excellent, Go Ross Mayfield and the Socialtext Team!
Other hosted environs metioned in this article EditMe, and TeamFlux.
The utilization of wikis and weblogs in the corporate environment actually makes a great deal of sense. Especiallyin how teams collaborate and co-author their working environments.
Hmm, now that we have 'p-logs' or 'project-logs'will someone also come up with 'p-wikis'? Or even better, since wehave 'k-logs' or 'knowledge-logs'do I also hear 'k-wikis'?
Well, there is actually a fairly well established 'k-wiki', and DenhamGrey is the steward of what is probably the largest 'k-wiki' or KmWiki in the world. (-:=
Rob Hof also tips his virtual hat to Ward Cunninghamthe father of wiki invention. And he offers a number ofdifferent examples of wiki implementations Wikipedia (ofcourse!), Meatball Wiki, Tourbus Wiki, The Tolkien Wiki, and Trek Wiki.
And thus concludes my 'lyrical wiki waxing' for the week… (-:=
