Two pieces from Information Week worth a look:
Order From Chaos Via RSS
How To Use Wikis For Business

Here’s a long (and continually expanding) list of things you can do with RSS.
It’s a wiki page, so it can be expanded as more and more people have more and more idea - and naturally there’s an RSS feed.

This time, it’s a Blackberry - and this is my first attempt at a blog posting from the built-in browser.
First impressions are that it’s a bit of a faff, caused mainly by the lack of a mobile stylesheet for the blog engine - which results in rather a lot of scrolling and clicking. But […]

I’ve mentioned Tiddlywiki in the past - put (not so) simply, it’s a self-contained wiki that doesn’t need any server or database backend. Which is a complicated way of saying that you can create a Tiddlywiki and send it via email as an attachment, so that the recipient can read it without needing […]

Ever played email tag with a group of people while you’re trying to arrange a meeting? Ever fixed a date and time only to find it’s no good because the most important participant forgot to update their Outlook schedule for that day?
Play tag no more, because a wiki might be the answer. […]

One of the key roles in a brainstorming session is the person who’s in charge of writing down the ideas. The central premise of brainstorming is that every idea is captured, no matter how ridiculous it seems at the time - and this normally means someone standing at a whiteboard scribbling furiously.
Which is […]

With all the recent fuss about fake blogs (and acting on a suggestion from Steve Rubel) we’ve set up a wiki as a ‘clearing house’ for details of blogs that marketing functions would like to have us all think are genuine, but are actually about as real as Piltdown Man.
The wiki is here at www.fakeblogs.info […]

Over at Projects@Work, there’s an article by end-user analyst Cathy Webber about “Making Collaboration Work”, in which she outlines a roadmap for collaborative success with five suggestions for managing that process. It’s a very well-written and cogently-argued piece - well worth reading - but stops short of being too prescriptive about how to […]

One thing we struggle with on a regular basis is explaining wikis to our clients (particularly potential clients!) If ever there was an application that has an “ah-ha!” moment it’s a wiki. There just seems to be some built-in mental block that we’re either born with or acquire from somewhere that […]

Having been back in corporate world for the last few months what became rapidly apparent when introducing social tools such as blogs or wikis, is the need to include a “salesman” in your team.
Not a “salesman” as in the archetypal mondeo driving, ginster pie eating, crimpolene attired, Bobby Charlton coiffed character that Alan Partridge loves […]

Here’s one of those ideas that has you slapping your head and exclaiming “why didn’t I think of that?”

TiddlyWiki is a “reusable non-linear personal web notebook”, which is a rather long-winded way of saying it’s a standalone wiki. That’s right - you read that correctly. It’s a wiki-in-a-file - there’s no server […]

Via Ross Mayfield, here’s an interesting article in the Toronto Globe and Mail about the use of wikis in the wild…

As we are currently implementing a number of projects currently using weblogs and wiki’s in corporate environments, the following article on Frank Carvers Weblog caught my attention, particularly the following comment:
Trust me, if you want people to contribute on a Wiki, give them a real blank page and actively encourage posting by making it as […]

Last week I posted about how with a new client they went straight past the blog stuff and it was the wiki that caught their attention.
Well it’s happened again, and whilst a blog will fulfill some of this particular clients requirements, its the wiki once again that was the star of the show.
Which got me […]

Much of our work recently has been on developing blogging tools for use in the corporate environment; to date we have had very little interest in Wiki?s.
But that would appear to be changing.
We recently were pitching for some new business to a new client and based on prior discussions thought that a number of solutions […]
