Digital Marketing and Technological Insight

I was reading one of my 500 RSS I subscribe to and came across, wikirage, a really cool website that lists the pages on Wikipedia that are most active in regards to edits per unique editor. Wikirage let’s you view the most active pages by the hour, day or month. At the moment, the MTV Video Music Awards is #1 with 79 unique editors, 141 raw edits, 3 revisions and 1 vandalism, makes sense since the VMA’s were last night. But what I find to be the most interesting is looking deeper into the list and seeing what is getting people thinking. For example, during the past 3 days “Earth” is ranked #27 and has been vandalised 18 times while “George W. Bush” ranked at #54 has been vandalised only 4 times.

For me, Wikirage and other similiar sites are a much more interesting version of Yahoo! Buzz. I mean how many times can I see the same people, places and things on the list! Yeah, I am talking to you Mrs Spears.

BrainKeeper, a leading providers of corporate wiki solutions, has announced the release of its latest enterprise wiki software. The release focuses on enhancing the existing wiki product with integrated blogs, enhanced content tagging and other features that are aimed on helping their corporate customers take full advantage of the wonderful world of wiki’s.

"Blogs and Tagging are being used to help deliver information to external communities, but not for internal collaboration," said BrainKeeper President, Chad Ganske. "We wanted to bring the value of those Web 2.0 technologies to the corporation itself. For example, when an employee writes a Blog post in BrainKeeper about a news article, you get the distribution benefits of a Blog, and the unique, focused perspective of the author, contributors, and tags as they relate specifically to your business. Your entire company can participate in organically creating a library of customized research and ideas that can be easily tapped for a wide number of uses."  

BrainKeeper had been a favorite of mine based them focusing on the needs of their corporate clients…capturing important information, reducing email overload, creating a central knowledge base and information delivery. In my opinion, no other enterprise wide solution comes close.
