i’ve probably mentioned this before so if I appear to be having a senior moment then forgive me. SocialText is offering free wikis for up to 5-users. I’m playing with this at the moment as a potential replacement for knowledge management. Think tax library.
It’s not plain sailing as wikis demand a particular way of working that at first seems counter-intuitive. Part of this is because they don’t tend to use traditional hierarchical menu structures. Once you get used to the way a wiki works then it becomes a lot easier to navigate around than ploughing through menus.
If you’d like to learn more, there is a Wiki Wednesday meeting in London tomorrow evening. Details are here along with sign-up. BTW – bonus – being hosted by PWC no less!
If you’re a larger practice, then Ross Mayfield has blagged Suw Charman’s draft for enterprise best practice. This is based on work Suw has done at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. My take is that most of what Suw says is common sense. That fits nicely with how I see this technology working in the real world. But…I’d be interested to see how wiki is merged with blog technology as an easily discoverable communications mechanism. That seems a ways off at the moment but it has to come. That would definitely be a 2+2=5 thing for me.
