Wikipedia started implementing its Flagged Revisions policy on Wednesday. Let's consider what this really tells us about the wiki model.

Survey Report: Why Businesses (Don't) Collaborate
Thursday, July 9, 2009
In May, Stewart Mader and Scott Abel conducted a survey of 523 content professionals about collaboration within their companies. The survey contains 12 questions around use of email and how meetings are organized within companies. The picture drawn from the survey results supports what Stewart has been writing in his blog for years: Email is a terrible collaboration tool.

Wiki Gardening
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
I wrote a few months ago about keeping the chaff out of your site with a regular Wiki Spring Cleaning. This is just one in a set of activities often referred to as Wiki Gardening. Now that it is actually Spring, I thought it a good time to summarize these activities and talk a bit about why they are important for any wiki. Beyond just wikis, these are important activities for any relatively large web site. It?s just a lot easier to do in a wiki.

Fun with Wordle
Thursday, April 16, 2009
Wordle is a fun web toy that creates an attractive tag cloud from either pasted text, an RSS feed or a Delicious account.

The Importance of Good Original Designs for Wikis

Sound Pedagogy Makes Classroom Wikis a Success
Wednesday, March 11, 2009
I had tagged a post on classroom wiki techniques from educator Jon Orech weeks ago and forgotten about it. This is a great post for teachers considering using wikis with their students. He covers the basics of what kinds of programs wikis are suitable for, common pitfalls, and concrete examples of successful wiki use in his own classes. Then he follows it up with a solid list of resources to check out on the topic. It?s an excellent read.

Is TheOfficialBoard.com a wiki?
Monday, March 9, 2009
A TechCrunch post today announced the launch of a new org chart site that aims to document the management structure of the world?s 20,000 largest corporations. Normally I don?t read TechCrunch, but the use of Wiki in the title brought it up in my Google News fetchermajiggy. The title of the post is ?TheOfficialBoard Launches With Wiki Org Charts For 20,000 Companies?. Is TheOfficialBoard really a wiki?
