Web 2.0

The water looks so serene I can almost hear the soft waves touch the shore....(yet another MASSIVE HUGE SIGH!) Alas, one day...

I went to Web 2.0 Award Nominees and selected 'peanut butter wiki'. It says it's an "easy to use webpage that multiple people can edit." There was a quick podcast that described the benefits of using such a service mainly that people can build ideas together as a group as opposed to the blog model.

I set up a test wiki there at http://bassetbudi.pbwiki.com I used a recipe template and typed in one for a favorite recipe given to me years and years ago by a dear friend (Scottish Shortbread...yum!)

They call it pbwiki because "it's easy as making a peanut butter sandwich." It defiitely was easy to do...very user friendly...and free! More advanced features can be purchased a la subscription service.

As I mentioned in my post about wikis in general a few weeks ago, I can see using a wiki to have an easily searchable and editable procedures manual for the Order Dept. I will be investigating that possibility. It is definitely more cumbersome to have multitudes of documents posted on a CMS server to mull through to find the information one needs.
