Your Own Free Wiki and AJAX Start Page

Create your own free wiki at pbwiki. A wiki is a site that you can edit right in your browser. Changes are immediately visible. You can share access to this and make collaboration easy. Something as simple as keeping a family shopping list - you no longer have to search for the piece of paper your spouse already wrote things on and you can edit it from any computer. Everyone can easily contribute to the same list and everyone knows where it is. Organize it however you like and keep all your notes there, todo lists, movies you'd like to set, etc. Lots of possibilities.

It would be even better if they had a nice GUI editor, something like FCKeditor. But it's pretty slick - and FREE.

Also checkout Protopage where you can create your own customized start page. It's also free. This one uses AJAX so you can grab frames and move them around however you like. You can have it display news, weather, bookmarks, and any RSS feed you wish. It also has this cool, simple to use "sticky note" feature. Basically you can write whatever you want and move it around on screen like you would do with a PostIt note on your desk.

Again, think of the possibilities of informal collaboration - you could put family shopping lists, reminders, gift lists, todo lists, and even fun uplifting notes there. Sort of an online family bulletin board. All FREE. Posted by Chris on 2/15/2006 09:59:00 AM :: Permalink
