Wikis plus one | December 10, 2009

OK, maybe I didn’t follow the instructions in the last lengthy post so well.  There are lots of uses for wikis, mostly when you have a bunch of people to collaborate on something.  However, I’ve seen a few cases where people set up a wiki when a blog would make more sense.  If you just want a quick and easy way to publish something online, go with the blog.  If there are a bunch of you or if you’re looking for input on something, try a wiki.  For example, the booklovers wiki is cool, but not so much a collaborative thing.  There’s benefit to me being able to add reviews, but I can also change earlier reviews, which isn’t really the point of the exercise.  Perhaps LibraryThing would work just as well or better.

I added some stuff to the PB Wiki – vacation spots and restaurants.  Easy-peasy.  I set up a PB Wiki account once, but didn’t care for the categories and such for my purposes.  I wanted something more like Wikipedia, which is why I went for Wikia.
