Shouts of Nothingness

“Wiki

Wiki is a web site whose pages can be edited by anybody at anytime through a web browser in real-time. According to Wikipedia, (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWiki) the term Wiki is derived from the Hawaiian language word `WikiWiki’, which means `quick’.

A Wiki site not only allows its users to read and write a web page, but also publishes the edited web page as soon as the editing process is completed. Of course, to edit a Wiki web page you don’t need to know anything about HTML or any other web technologies.”

Creating a project website
The scenario

You and a few colleagues need to work on a new project together. How do you centralize and share all the information, documents and emails related to that project?

The problem

Emailing documents around means no one knows who has the most recent version. Emails get locked away in people’s inboxes and information is scattered across multiple computers. Anyone not involved in the project has no clue what’s going on.

The solution

You can use JotSpot as a project site to coordinate, organize and collaborate:

1. AddNewUsers. Invite your colleagues into your JotSpot wiki.
2. CreateNewPages. Create pages and categories to help organize your project.
3. AttachDocuments. Upload relevant documents.
4. PostComments. Leave comments on any page.
5. SendEmailToAnyPage. CC: your JotSpot wiki when you send relevant email to one another.

The benefit

You have a centralized, shared and archival record of all the information related to your project.

For example, it maybe useful when you need to directions to your friends and relatives. It is quite useful, unfortunately it only works for US numbers at the moment.

Google Send to Phone for Firefox is an extension that enables you to send short text messages of web page content to your mobile phone. For example, you might text message yourself a phone number, an address, or directions that you find on the Web.
