Last week I got an introduction to wikis. I’d visited wikis before but had never even considered contributing to one or starting one. I really like the editing features for group/team projects. I can see this working really well with documents that go through many changes before arriving at the finished product. I imagine that this would get more mileage than a blog–at least in the libraries where I’ve worked. For some reason, a blog seems more personal and more driven by the blog author. Wikis seem more communal.
Using Wet Paint was a little more frustrating since editing for me didn’t work well in Safari. I was able to do what I wanted when I switched to Firefox. That’s definitely a minus for me. I think I may try PB Wiki to see how it functions and whether it’s more Safari-friendly.
I will say that I definitely like the template choices for WordPress blogs better than the Wet Paint wiki templates.
