Service - Setting Your Own Wiki

 

Blogs and Wikis are very similar:

 

*Both are low cost web solutions that require no knowledge of HTML

*Both give us the freedom to create pages with unique URLs that be easily forwarded and linked to other pages and sites

*Both eliminate the IT department as a middleman and enable us to post and revise content independently

 

That's where the resemblance ends, though! Blogs and Wikis support different types of online interactions and you should use them for markedly different purposes.

 

Of the two types of media, Blogs are conceptually simpler, and their application in PR is a lot clearer. A Blog is a simple web space in which an individual or a group can sequentially post articles and transmit them simultaneously via an RSS feed. The messages that you post reach and persuade influential eyeballs, making your Blog a PR function. It serves to get your name out there and it gets people talking.

 

A Wiki is also a simple web space, but unlike a Blog, it is not organized sequentially or chronologically. It begins as a blank web page of which you possess a variety of controls, such as "edit" and "create a new page." You may extend these controls to others as you see fit. If your goal is to create a very public Wiki; to promote a conference, for example, you set your controls for "public view" and "public edit" and invite all to join in.

 

On the contrary, if your goal is to create a private Wiki; for example to get a client's input in developing a confidential marketing plan, then you will set your controls for "registered view" and "registered edit" and no one else will be the wiser.

 

Each version of each page is saved by the Wiki and made available in a chronological list for easy retrieval.Tthe title of every new page will appear in alphabetical index, where you can easily find it, copy the URL, and link it to other pages and sites.

 

In contemplating your next step in micro media, you should consider the power of the Wiki. Think first of small groups with which you might more productively engage, and then expand your vision from there.
