By now you've visited, searched and read Wikipedia. So have you thought about developing a Wiki for your business, hobby, club or school? Check out: http://www.mediawiki.org, to host one of your own. Here's an idea of what a Niche Wiki can look like: http://valuewiki.com.
Think about asking all your friends, strangers, experts and fans to share everything they know about specific topics, host a Wiki and start posting!
What about a Wiki on Hip Hop, culture; clothes, dance, poetry, rap. Detailed lessons on movement, writing, lifestyle, history etc... Deep knowledge collected from all corners of the planet. How to kids in Japan embrace hip hop? What's a swipe? How do you egg roll? What defines old school?
The power of the Wiki is the same as the power of social networks. The content is the people, the power comes from activity and involvement.
Having a centralized repository of knowledge developed, maintained and edited by all can be not only be useful, practical and powerful but necessary. In sales logging best practices, company methods, history, project timelines, product knowledge etc... is incredibly important. So why does my company maintain an archaic FAQ when a Wiki is the answer?
Create, involve, share, maintain and archive. Niche Wiki... Who's got one!
Share some comments on successful Wikis you know about. Who's doing ti right?
