I was visiting the Boston Globe online this morning, and one of the front page articles was on wikis. Given that our book "Managing Virtual Teams: Getting the Most from Wikis, Blogs, and Other Collaborative Tools" is in the final stages of production, and that Brenda and I wrote an article about wikis for the January issue of Intercom, I had to read it.

Globe staff member Robert Weisman talks about how wikis are going more mainstream (quoting Dan Bricklin, maker of VisiCalc), along with some of the issues that exist. There's Wiki-Cake, where visitors help design a cake. Zillow.com, the property records website, has added a wiki so that homeowners can make comments on their properties.

I am a member of Wikipedia (although I don't seem to get there too often), and the MSHelpWiki. Brenda, Kit, and I created a wiki to support our book that will be going live by the end of the year. The STC office is using a wiki to track upcoming articles.

Do you wiki? Where? Leave a comment!
