« this is even simpler than a wiki ! | Main | storage space is no longer an issue »

is this one of the futures for wikis ?

This might be terribly important.  I ran across an article in the current NewsWeek - it was one of those breathless boosterism pieces on Web 2.0 ... but one of the companies pointed to intrigued me.    The company goes by the name of PLUM  ( http://www.plum.com )

As I write this (29 march 06), the product is still in private beta-testing .. Soooooooo, this is just what you can glean from various news sources:

The idea is simple.  Take all the stuff you collect on something you're working on, something you're interested in, something you've 'been meaning to do one of these days...'.  Web sites. Desktop or web-based pictures, images, music, documents of all flavors.  Collect them, allow others to see them and to add their own 'stuff.'

It SOUNDS like a lot (but not all) of what motivates people to adopt wikis.

I'll be fascinating to watch how Plum pulls this off. 

Go and sign up for a any-day-now public beta version!!

Ah - the Newsweek piece:
