Cool chat and wiki tools

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I’m going through my mound of email right now looking for things I haven’t linked to. The list is way too long (more than a hundred at last count and I’m not even half way through my “blog this” folder). Lots of cool little things, too. Like ChatCreator. A neat little chat creation engine. Here, let’s try. I’m here now.

Another thing that’s fun? How about WetPaint? It’s a wiki tool. But, unlike PBWiki I used for my OffTheGrid it’s easier to use for normal people. I used PBWiki cause it had — by far — the best setup I have seen so far, but WetPaint isn’t far behind and is nicer once you get inside. More on that soon.

Oh, enough of this, I just wanted an excuse to point out that on WikiMapia there’s a nude beach that someone pointed out just south of Half Moon Bay. Are there “no Flickr” signs there?

Got any other wiki or chat tools we should be playing with? Post them here, I’m gonna put them on my new video show next month.

  1. Hope you get to work on that new video show soon – I’d be interested in seeing what you dig up on wikis, for some reason they just keep popping up in my field of interest lately.

    Since I’m an editor guy, my best advice for making a wiki work is to get a good WYSIWYG editor in it. I don’t care if it’s the one I write for a living, just do it for the users (won’t anybody think of the users?). I’ve written about this in detail: http://www.symphonious.net/2005/07/19/wiki-syntax-considered-harmful/ and reiterated the point a lot – just do a search for wiki syntax on my blog.

    Anyway, please make sure and post a link to your new show when it’s available, and drop me an email if you want more ranting on how important the editor is. 😉
