Popular Blogs

I'd like to share a couple of today's popular blogs.  The first one is TechCrunch, a blog that keeps you informed about all the latest news in the tech world.  The second one is The Dish, a blog that is Andrew Sullivan's take on different topics.

Collaboration Article

I found an interesting article on wikis being by companies for collaboration.  While the article is not about any particular business, it does have some good information.  The article starts by defining what a wiki is and how they are used.  It then explains how wikis can be helpful to organizations, stating that wikis can share knowledge and information or help with project management, among other things.  There is also a section that covers key factors you should keep in mind while creating a wiki system.  These include things like making sure the wiki incorporates personal involvement, make the content provider visible, and make sure all members contribute valuable content.  The article closes by giving some example of different companies that use wikis for collaboration within their company.

Here is the link to the article: http://bhopu.com/2008/01/using-wikis-for-collaboration-and-enhancing-organizational-knowledge/

Introduction

Hi, my name is Nick.  I am from the Woodlands, TX and I currently attend Stephen F. Austin State University.  I play for the SFA paintball team and love every second of it.  In my free time I enjoy doing pretty much anything outdoors.  Three of my favorite websites are: PbNation (http://www.pbnation.com/), ESPN (http://espn.go.com/), and TechPB (http://techpb.com/).  PbNation and TechPB are both great websites for paintballers or those who want to find out more about paintball in general.  ESPN's website is another favorite because it keeps me up-to-date with the latest in sports news.
