Family Wiki
My cousin, Glen, had the idea to create a Wiki. We recently suffered a loss in our family and one of the ways people dealt with it was by using the blog of the person who had died, so this seemed like a natural extension.
Now, outside of Wikipedia, I have yet to see how exactly this would be useful, and definitely have yet to see how people are using it in the enterprise; but in this case I think it could be a very good idea.
The site isn’t the best and the rich text editor needs work, but if it gets my not-all-tech-savvy family to post info, it must be doing something right.
If you are interested here is the Pearson family wiki.
(BTW, I am putting this in my Web 2.0 category – I am still somewhat undecided about what that is, is it the technology (RSS, Ajax, RIA) or is the community-stuff (Blogs, MySpace, Wikis)..feel free to give me your thoughts.)
