POPSToday's Topic: What's Weird in the Wikis Another interesting Blog Site I found while perusing the Net.. The "Paul Is Dead" rumors go all the way back to the latter 60's and for a while was a huge phenomenon focusing around the "demise" of the left-handed Beetle. Some of the clues and hints that the Beetle's were supposedly sending in their album art and song lyrics are still quoted today...

POPSWikinvest “The reason why I think wikis work is it’s a lot easier for me to undo something you did than for you to do it,” Mr. Conrad said. And if someone lies about a company, they are subject to prosecution for securities fraud. Joseph A. Grundfest, a former member of the Securities and Exchange Commission who teaches at Stanford, sees some benefits to the wiki model. “We need more people to take responsibility for their own investment decisions, and the easier you make it for people to get good information at low cost, the better off the world will be,” he said. However, “People have to understand that whenever you use a wiki, you get what you pay for.” Sounds interesting.

POPSCopyright and web2.0 "It needs to be clear, transparent and fair. It is not about acknowledging that people have done something original and can benefit from copyright protection, but it establishes fair terms, for example, that by joining up to the university network the person accepts that their material can be freely used and shared." in the web2.0 era the concept of ownership and propriety usage of content is evolving.

POPSWEbook WEbook is a revolutionary online book publishing company, which does for the industry what American Idol did for music. (Modestly speaking, of course.) Welcome to the home of groundbreaking User-Generated Books. WEbook is the vision of a few occasionally erudite people who believe there are millions of talented writers whose work is ignored by the staid and exclusive world of book publishing. It just makes logical sense that if you create a dynamic, irreverent, and open place for writers and people who like reading to meet, write, react, and think together, the results are bound to be extraordinary. Cue WEbook.com, an online publishing platform that allows writers, editors, reviewers, illustrators and others to join forces to create great works of fiction and non-fiction, thrillers and essays, short stories, children's books and more.

POPSWikis as a Marketing Tool First Blogs, then podcasting, now Wikis. That's the pattern, internet users embrace it, then the corporate machine adopts it. And lastly, Academia dips in its collective toe. Maybe we should dive in first on the next one?

POPSWik.is - free wiki hosting + google integration I'm checking out free wiki hosting services, and will definitely have to give this one a look. I love mediawiki and would just host that myself, but I've seen far too many wikis crumble in the face of massive spam attacks. A hosted solution means someone else is working on the spam problem as well.

POPSPogie says, "Amazing magazine..." I stumbled on this magazine while I was looking for info on podcasting...but I hit a gold mine! If you are the type who always wants to know how something works...especially in the digital world...and likes to build...whatever...then this magazine (print and online) is for you. I could barely get myself off the site after I stumbled it. Actually, I just clipped it and I'm going right back on it.
