What isn't Google buying these days. Since our WetPaint site is a Wiki I figured i would post this as an indication these tools will only continue to grow in popularity. Of all the Web based communication tools i think the Wiki is the one that makes most people scratch their head. How do you particiapte? Why would you want to?

Granted it is a tool for the power internet users as if nobody particiaptes it gets pretty old [are you all out there catching the hint? :)]

Wikis more than any other are about collaboroation as anyone can add and delete information from the page. that is cool idea but also gets into some scary areas for PR people. What happens if people with bad intentions are editing your wiki? That is where the community comes in. The community must police itself! I am sure many folks are familiar with WikiPedia; the internet encyclopedia in which the community drafts entries for the collective good of the group. Are you also familiar with some it's troubles? Turns out some folks made up some history to either damage enemies or freshen up their own personality. As with much you see on TV, read, hear, find on the internet - take it with some skepticism and try your best to qualify sources and validate facts! Another example this time involving the White House.

What do you all think? Will I ever convince you to participate in this Wiki? On this site anyone with a WetPaint ID can edit the Wiki. That way folks will have to ID themselves when they post and I can take action if they get squirrley :)
