readwriteweb.com — This piece looks at the range of wiki products on the market, and how people are using them. Overall the future looks bright for the Wiki, which is evolving at a rapid rate. As more advanced Wiki solutions are built, they are becoming more and more blurred from the original Wiki DNA.

Still, they forgot the biggest player in the scene Wikia (<a class="user" href="http://www.wikia.com)">http://www.wikia.com)</a> - which was pretty sad.

pbwiki.com rocks (pb is for "peanut butter")!

You highlight a point that is far broader than your comment. Technology and applications are evolving far faster than groups can accommodate to. I accommodate to them fast because I find them exciting. However to those who derive zero excitement and will only be swayed by utility, tend to resist unless the groundswell gets them. I too am try to get people to use a Wiki - very little participation has resulted. Most people are only comfortable with something or anything that they have played with. Since most humans stop playing once they leave childhood it means that we are constantly stuck.

Google and JotSpotWouldn't Google Docs & Spreadsheets and Google Groups both be a kind of a Wiki. I guess JotSpot will allow them to integrate it better and add additional features. What would a dedicated Wiki hoster such as PBwiki or the other provide over and above that which I have mentioned?

"The problem with wikis is Microsoft Word"Hardly. Hell, with the addition of Sharepoint Word becomes a fine format for collaborative document creation. The documents in question are linear because they are simply documents - not online databases.One of the problems with Wikis si that so far the majority of them frankly suck. Even Mediawiki has serious flaws. The formatiing is obtuse and inconsistent, templating is basically painful and it completely lacks any ability to fit in with the rest fo a corporate intranet.Once wiki features get grafted onto an good, simple existing CMS system things will really take off.
