Weekend with Wikis

---

The new PB Wiki promises to be a cross between a blog page, a soft board, a fridge top and a web site! PB which actually stands for Peanut Butter, is all about usability and simplicity. Their 90 second video shows you, rather enthusiastically, that can use a PB wiki for your class, an office project or simply to share information with friends. With plug-ins that upload graphs, videos, reports, calendars, recipes et al. It was fast, it was easy, my wiki was up and running in 2 minutes flat. The PBWiki for ordinary mortals is free with 10 mb of file space, while they have ‘yummy’ packages for office users. But like classic coke, for all diehard wiki-ites, who want things the way it was last week, you can click and go back to your old wiki. The official site is cheekily named yummy.pbwiki.com For those who want to check out the competition, try www.wetpaint.com, where you can open a “wetpaint” wiki on just about anything under the sun.

ZPWiki, is the latest in the line of “Ask and thou shalt be answered”. The only catch, you unfortunately have to pay for it. It’s quiz time meets gambling hour. For $1 to $10,000, you can get those doubts firmly out of your heads. The site is starkly severe and means business. In contrast, Yedda ( a competitor site) shows sample questions and answers, so you can judge the quality for yourself. Google Answers is sulking, no questions please was the message. Yahoo! Answers needs you to swear eternal loyalty to Yahoo! before letting you in. But I question the wisdom of making anyone pay…for instance, ZP wiki promises book reports, which any student with half a brain can put to-gether just surfing a couple of blogs or registering with the countless student specific sites like directessays.com or termpaperslab.com.
