In a strange move, Google has added a new feature to Google Docs that enables users to allow anyone to edit a spreadsheet, advertising the option as a way to make a spreadsheet like a wiki. Previously, individuals could be invited to view or edit a spreadsheet, but they had to create an account with Google after entering a custom URL that effectively served as a security-through-obscurity barrier

¡Niño, caca! dicen desde las altas autoridades. Leo en Juan de Mairena, que lo lee en Gooseania, que cita esta página de la Universidad de Manchester, que se titula (al menos la traducción es mía) Directrices sobre el uso de blogs y wikis y dice algo así: El uso de páginas web interactivas y con varios autores, como es característico de los blogs, wikis y redes sociales, es cada vez más popular. Aunque la Universidad no desea obstaculizar el uso de estos sitios, usted [1] debe consultar previamente con su supervisor, mentor o inmediato superior para discutir las posibles implicaciones de participar en esos sitios. En particular, debe ser consciente de que publicar resultados preliminares, datos e ideas: Puede poner en riesgo la independencia y originalidad de su trabajo y tener

It has been said, by far to many CEO’s, that their companies greatest assets walk-out the door at the end of every business day. Meaning, that the unified knowledge, skills, workflow, ideas, networks, relationships and strengths are embodied within a company’s people. The tragic aspect of the relationship is that those human capital [...]

How the Barack Obama Campaign Uses Wikis to Organize Volunteers Excerpt:"The Obama campaign is using software from business intranet provider Central Desktop to manage "precinct captains" -- volunteers who get out the vote and spread the campaign message in specific precincts across the state. The campaign started using the software during the run up to an earlier nominating contest in California -- the nation's most populous state. "The Web-based collaboration platform combined with a strong organized grass-roots effort, created unprecedented public involvement that is revitalizing politics in America," said Patrick DeTemple, the California Data & Systems Manager for the Obama campaign. "Not since Bobby Kennedy has there been such an extensive Precinct Captain operation for a presiden

Doug Cornelius of KM Space talked with Lee Rosen of Rosen Law Firm about how law firms use wikis.  A wiki allows users to easily create, maintain and update web pages or pages on an intranet.  So far, Rosen Law Firm’s wiki has about 3,000 to 4,000 pages of content.

Existe una gran variedad de plataformas gratuitas para crear Blogs, Portales, Foros, y un largo etc., ¿pero como se decide uno por cual decantarse?

 Wikipedia‘yı (Özgür İnternet Ansiklopedisi) bir çoğunuz biliyorsunuzudur. Ben çokça kullanırım kendisini. Ne var ki, ne zamandır gözümün önünde duran, fakat daha bu sabah keşfettiğim mükemmel bir bölümü var. Wikiquote ! (Wikisöz)… Tarihte ki büyük insanların, liderlerin sözlerinden tutun da, atasözlerimize kadar bir çok özlü sözü içinde bulundurmakta. Ansiklopedi bir çok dilde hazırlanmış. İçerisinde bir çok milletten ve insanlarından da çeviri sözler mevcut. Benim özellikle hoşuma giden Türk atasözleri sayfasınıda ziyaret etmenizi şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Yani sonuç olarak, bizim şu çok faydalı wikipediamızın, bir çok ürün/projesinin yanında birde özlü sözler ansiklopedisi mevcutmuşta benim haberim yokmuş. Bu Yazıyı Paylaşın

Commenting on a post on Digital Inspiration entitled "Why Are Blogs, Wikis Not Popular Than Email for Getting Things Done: Google Tech Talk".I remember a time when email was unpopular and 'would never take off' as was told to me by my then Finance Director. "It's not guaranteed delivery and dreadfully slow. You can't even send Spreadsheets or other Documents" he went on to say. Oh dear. Oh dear.IMHO, the reason 'non-technical' people, if I can use the term without offending millions of you, are not adopting Blogs and Wiki's instead of e-mail is because most people outside of techland, at least in my experience, have no real idea what they are let alone what the benefits may be. People are only now talking about Blogs in everyday conversations when they refer to them as personal diaries online. Ask people in the street about a Wiki and they'll probably think you're referring to some hairy rebel out of Star Wars and come back to you with some Han Solo gag or another.Wiki's are

The Future of Newspapers: 10 Obvious Things – Ryan Sholin and I are clearly on the same page. His list tells newspapers who they need to stop blaming and what they need to start doing to get to a profitable future. Now I wish someone would write a list explaining to bloggers why newspapers have a future. Hmmm.. maybe I should do that? Wikis… in plain english – In this excellent video explanation, CommonCraft explains what wikis are in a way that anyone(not just any techie) can understand. It’s a follow-up to their even better video, RSS in Plain English, which as of May 28th was viewed over 80,000 times.

En la edición de junio del 2007 de la revista Computer Power User, se reseña el wiki Wikileaks.org, cuyo propósito es traer a la luz pública documentos de comunidades disidentes, particularmente de países asiáticos y los que formaron parte de la unión soviética. Wikileaks fue fundado por disidentes chinos, matemáticos y especialistas de tecnología y reclaman tener ya cerca de 1.2 millones de documentos de fuentes anónimas y disidentes. Visité su página y por el momento no hay mucha información, presumo porque están comenzando, pero vale la pena seguir de cerca su desarrollo para ver si hay validez y veracidad en sus reclamos y contenido.

We all love wikipedia: it’s comprehensive, 100% user-edited (aka wiki-style), up-to-date, rather objective, and totally free. It’s a perfect wiki-powered system. While it’s by far the most popular one, it’s not the only wiki-style website that ‘works’. There are plenty of other successful wikis, focused on specific areas i.e, book summaries, cooking, HowTo’s and even ‘bullshit’. So, here you go, popular wikis that have something to offer. Popular Wikis (1) Wikipedia - all-favorite, biggest online encyclopedia (2) WikiTravel - world-wide travel guide, covers destination guides, hotels and resorts (3) WikiHow - ‘How-To’ manuals for the problems of everyday life. (‘HowTo’s: Hack a Coke Machine, Get Six Pack Abs, How to choose a Debt Management program, etc.) (4) WikiBooks - huge collection of user-edited, open-content textbooks and guides. (Textbooks: Chess guide, Learn French … ) (5) CookBookWiki - recipes and cooking related wiki. Sections include: dishes, re

Las wikis constituyen el último peldaño en la categoría de los blogs, que han tenido una enorme proliferación en la red. Ward Cunningham definió las wikis como una página web abierta; abierta en cuanto que permite a cualquier usuario visitarla, añadir contenido o eliminarlo, aunque dicho contenido lo haya introducido un tercero. El internauta puede editar libremente estructura y contenido de la wiki. Así , el sitio crece gracias al constante trabajo de una comunidad de usuarios interesada en los mismos temas.
