Openpedia.org > Beesley spins the world wide web of wikis | The Industry Standard

[Untitled] The sort of public community-based wikis that Wikia hosts rely very much on group ownership, and we think that providing hosting or premium services via one person who is paying could upset that by implying that the individual is responsible for the site which decreases the motivations of others to build and maintain it. Instead, Wikia is focused on the advertising-model, where we display ads from a variety of networks and directly from companies.

[Untitled] Beesley spins the world wide web of wikis | A Daily News round up ...: Wikis could take a trick or two from Facebook and social networking sites in order to draw more contributors in the new year, says co-founder of Wikia, Angela Beesley, one of the keynote speakers at the upcoming linux.conf.au.

[ArmchairGM Popular Stuff] Article:The Official NFL Conference Championship Preview (2008-09 ...: Literally, I'm not sure I can pick a winner.  Pittsburgh is favored by 6 points, but it will be much closer than that.  People are continuing to say that Baltimore has more motivation and "third time's the charm" but that's just bull.  Pittsburgh is just as motivated as Baltimore is.  The two teams have the hottest defenses in the league right now and both QB's have very similar abilities and are about one inch and 10 pounds size difference.  Ben Roethlisberger will be playing in his third career AFC Championship game and this defense seems to have a little more playoff experience on their side but that's about it.  Like I said earlier, though, Pittsburgh seems to be healthy for the first time in what, 12 or 13 weeks at least.  Baltimore's defense did struggle to stop Tennessee's run in the first half of last game, Pittsburgh will need to mimic what Tennessee's rookie RB Chris Johnson did while actually on the field.  I picked a generic score of about 17-14 and flipped a coin.  Baltimore won two out of three times.  But, I'm going against those odds and saying Pittsburgh wins.  Call me bias all you want, I'm not a professional, I do what I want!

[CMS Watch Trends and Features] Wiki Myths, Wiki Reality -- CMS Watch: I'll add that highly successful wiki projects are frequently driven by IT-savvy employees.  They have an understanding for the technology, as well as prior experience with wikis, perhaps from editing pages on Wikipedia. You may face challenges introducing the wiki to non-technical users, since a wiki requires a new, unfamiliar way of working, and system usability usually leaves much to be desired.

[Insight Story] Why a wiki project may fail!: People are willing to contribute for its cause. And even though the percentage of real contributors is less, the sheer number to which Wikipedia reaches is astounding.

[Silicon Alley Insider] Who The Hell Writes Wikipedia, Anyway?: In fact, this is why I STOPPED contributing to Wikipedia: there are a handful of hardcore "nazis", for want of a better term, who insist that an article on an esoteric, ancient, poetic, or even almost ineffable subject they are barely qualified to discuss, must follow the same rules as a modern hard science article. It'd be much better if those few hardcore users stuck to editing templates and correcting grammar/typos, rather than trying to dictate policy.

[Untitled] Barbie's Sordid Sexual History | PEEK | AlterNet: I refused to allow Barbie in our house because in my view Barbie dolls tell young children - boys as well as girls - that girls have one function that is more important than all other functions - they MUST have bodies like anorexic fourteen year old boys, but with breasts like nursing mothers - and, they must have enough hair to knit an afghan for a king-sized bed (which, presumably will be where they do their most important work, satisfying Ken).

[Untitled] LiveLeak and Wiki step up to the free speech plate; hit home runs ...: If you click on media simply to be annoyed, it is pointless to blame others for your choice. And Wikipedia has a very good entry on the movie - listed, in the movie iteself:.

[Untitled] Well, I'm Back: Wikipedia: A majority of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees is elected by the members of Wikipedia, too, in one fashion or another,[2] and more than a couple of candidates (I can't remember if they won) said in their platform that they would be against ads unless absolutely necessary.
