For collecting history and colloboration wiki software is unique. Let’s at each software a bit… facebook

  3. WHY NOT FACEBOOK ? Facebook is: • good at checking status, pokes, chat • difficult for looking up older content • things get buried • where is the Facebook archive? • content owner& users must register • not good with privacy & security issues. • not good with indexed content.

  4. WHY NOT Linked ? in • LinkedIn has some similarity to Facebook which brings similar disadvantages such as: • users must register with Linked In • not great with indexed content • LinkedIn is frequently associated with searches for jobs and networking with others in related industries or types of work.

  5. WHAT ABOUT OTHER WIDELY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE? • You ? Great for sharing video but not for sharing text and communication. • Flickr? Great for sharing photos, but not quite right for what the wiki can do. • A blog? – best suited to a single narrator & commenters, but not many contributors. • A website?- not enough tools for collaboration.
