It is one thing to say, "Let's make our website social and really get on board with this web 2.0 thing." However, sometimes talk seems much simpler than execution. For those who are looking for a quick and effective way to take their websites social, social publishing leader Wetpaint is willing to help you out…if you're willing to scratch its back when the time comes.
Marketwire just released two pieces of rather interesting information regarding Wetpaint. First, Wetpaint has just received [...]

I stumbled on AboutUs completely by accident one day while handling an issue with my WhoIs domain registration. When I went to the WhoIs page to follow up on a possible hack of my domain registry, I saw a small link to "AboutUs" and clicked. I was taken to a page offering to make a Wiki about my web site. I clicked yes out of curiosity, and seconds later my web site had its very own wiki page [...]

Wikia Search , the new user-generated search engine from the Wikimedia Foundation, launched today to much fanfare. Still in alpha, Wikipedia founder and CEO Jimmy Wales admits that as an alpha release, it still lacks user data, leading to poor results, but he expects the search to improve over the coming weeks.
According to Wales, the future of Internet search depends on change according to Four Organizing Principles: transparency, community, quality, and privacy. And while he claims that Wikia [...]

You might not have known it, but for a while now, Yahoo! has had its own social network up and running. It’s true. It’s called Yahoo! 360, and it’s, well, not all that good. Thus it’s not very popular. Thus the general non-social impression the public has had about the company.

ArmchairGM is a sports site with a twist, as it uses a wiki interface (MediaWiki), to allow sports fans to run the show.
It has long offered features uncommon to wikis, including the ability for users to write sports opinion pieces in a blog post style and have them integrated within the rest of the site.
Late last year Wikia acquired the site, and it has now received some major upgrades that should help fans better communicate, share thoughts, and remain competitive.

Last October, Google acquired JotSpot and has been working on integrating the service into the Google Apps platforms, as announced in July.
According to Google Blogoscoped, Martin Porcheron (one of their regular forum members) has noticed that ?jotspot? is now a Google Apps service code name, and that those who have a domain hosted with Google Apps (not using custom logos) will see a ?Google Wiki? logo when trying to login (see for yourself).
Hopefully all of this means [...]

Atlassian announced today that they have acquired Cenqua, adding Cenqua's Clover, Crucible, and FishEye products to Atlassian's product line.
Plug-ins already existed to allow JIRA to work with the code viewing of FishEye, and to allow Bamboo to work with the code analysis capabilities of Clover, but merging the two companies will provide more seamless integration of Cenqua's products with the issue tracking, wiki, and integration tools of Atlassian.
As the press release points out, Atlassian and Cenqua already shared many [...]

"Why don't you just change it, uncle, if you feel so strongly about it?" I said with a hint of irritation. He is my uncle, all of these years and having been brought up entirely in the Silicon Valley habitat I am designed to be impatient trying to help uncle the complexities of something new in the cyber world.
"What do you mean - change it? It is a text in an encyclopedia written by an authority. I may not [...]
