We’ll be learning more about “wikis” in just a couple of weeks, but for those who would like to take a look ahead, I encourage you to visit PBWiki this evening, sign up, and publish a writing about PBWiki before midnight tonight. According to the promotion, those who link to PBWiki before the midnight hour tonight will receive double the server space for expanding your work online. You may not know what the service has to offer yet, but the link may be a great “just in case” move to make. You never know.
I’ve added more information below along with a link for getting started.
What’s a Wiki? 
A wiki is a kind of free-form website that is easy to edit. On a pbwiki, any visitor with the site’s password can edit any page on the site. pbwikis can be made public to allow anyone to read a wiki, while still restricting editing to those who know the wiki’s password. But pbwikis can be private, too.
Edits are done in plain text and don’t require learning fancy or complex codes like HTML. Just start typing! It’s also easy to create new pages and make links to pages you’ve already made.
Why might you want a pbwiki?
- Sharing notes on Mayan culture for History class
- Brainstorming the new product design for Tuesday’s client presentation
- Taking notes to figure out which digital camera to buy
- Keeping track of the projects you’re involved with and your TODO list
It’s profoundly simple to make a new wiki with pbwiki. It’s totally free of charge and spam-free. With nothing to download, you’ll be sharing information in a jiffy!So go ahead and make a wiki! It’s fun!
