Here’s a fun site: Peanut Butter Wiki<\/a> (or “pbwiki” for short). It’s a site of free wikis. Anyone can create one. You’ve probably heard of wikis, but they’re kind of a tough concept to wrap your brain around. Here’s the idea: Wikis are websites that allow anyone (or a select group) to edit the content. <\/strong> And they mean it. If you have access to editing a wiki, you can delete the whole page. Or add all sorts of profanity. Or work on an honor system and collaborate effectively. The idea is that you’ll do the latter. What trust! What great faith in mankind on the web! And it’s all in plain text! You don’t even use HTML!Well, there are some safety nets. Wikis keep tabs on old versions of files, so a previous one can be restored. Certain big wikis like Wikipedia<\/a> keep an eye out for “nonsense and vandalism” and ban those authors immediately. But do you realize that anyone<\/i> (yes, even you<\/i>) can edit that internationally widespread encyclopedia? If you know something about “stuff,” why don’t you put it up there? But back to Peanut Butter Wiki… It’s a useful free tool for getting some info on the web quickly. And it’s even more useful if you want other people to contribute to it. Check out my wiki<\/a> for a demo. I’ll even give you the password once you get there, so you can edit it. Then you can build your own and wiki-wiki to your heart’s content. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
