Look who’s linking…
A quick look at TalkDigger reveals that while I’ve been busy cranking out the goodness, some people have noticed and like what they see:
- Alan Levine mentioned how he serendipitously found my site, and portfolio of presentations, through “curious link clicking.” I do this too, and even wrote about “Going on a browse” a while ago…
- Jon Silvers mentioned on the Atlassian blog my post about the release of Confluence 2.2, and he particularly likes the use of Talkr to automatically podcast posts.
- Gena Singson used my Highered BlogCon paper in an assignment for her Instructional Media and Technology class at Illinois State University, and mentioned my guide to using wiki in education in another post on her blog. The guide is also mentioned in a very thoughtful post, “Wikis in group authoring” on cac.ophony.
- Martin Buckley cited The Science of Spectroscopy in a post on the Novell Cool Blogs about the Cool Solutions Wiki. Novell has created this wiki to build information and community among employees, customers, partners, and developers, and in Martin’s post, he says, “The content is as good as the community. Like one large ‘pot luck meal’ – if we all bring something good we’ll have a feast. The vast majority of wiki sites become the body of knowledge for the broader community – I’ve already plugged Wikipedia – but other sites as diverse as the WordPress Codex to Science of Spectroscopy use the Wiki structure to facilitate rapid and broad information sharing.” Much as I love Wikipedia, it’s nice to see other sites cited for innovative uses of the wiki, especially The Science of Spectroscopy! Needless to say, this is a great example of a company “getting” the wiki.
