BusinessWeek on wikis

Hawaii wiki-wiki bus BusinessWeek has an article on wikis that's worth a read if you're a fan of the tool (as I am). They note that "wiki-wiki" is the Hawaiian word for "quick" (it's the name of the shuttle buses at the Honolulu airport--see right).

The article credits Ward Cunningham as the father of wikis, but doesn't provide a link (that's easily remedied). It does point to some well-known wikis (like wikipedia) and also some other interesting wikis (like those at OpenGuides).

Thanks to John Robb for the pointer.

Hi Beth,

Some of us in the Content Management community are using a wiki as a collaborative authoring tool to generate a glossary of CM terminology.

I just added an entry for your Information Design field. Your comments most appreciated.
