Thoughts on Wiki
Getting late now, but I do want to add a comment that I may not use wiki as much often as previously.
“If weblogs are monologs, and news-style forums are dialogues, a wiki is like a catalog of knowledge” However, I am almost the only one at wiki recently. And because of large volume of spams at the site, I had to hack into the php file and assign the editing right to specific users (Today, actually I saw an amusing sentence: ” if Pfizer is going to pay, I won’t get angry with these Viagra ads”). And actually I am just building the wiki as my own knowledge base so why not use this blog instead.
Yes, I am going to switch. I could build pages for trivial listings and if needed I can write something down in posts as in different categories. Now I also can post from email. Great, so I’ll go with it.
Meanwhile, I would still keep the wiki running as it is but would contribute little there.

hehe, Wiki is good but requiring a lot of labor. Baidu is building one, too. I doubt if they can get success. Maybe the only wiki survival will be Wikipedia.

Yes, Wiki really should be user-based and require a lot of labor:). But wikipedia also holds a strong opinion about how you get the information and it respects the copyright so much that I couldn’t show a picture link at wiki.
I would guess Baidu will find a way for doing wiki especially wikipedia is banned within China :p
