I’m quoted in a new article from AMD Accelerate – Web 2.0: It’s time for companies to ‘wiki up’:

Wikis are popular because they have certain advantages over e-mail, says Stewart Mader, a wiki consultant and author of two books, Wikipatterns and Using Wiki in Education. He also writes a blog, Grow Your Wiki.

“Each new e-mail message can be an interruption, and the fact that a separate copy goes to each person means that it isolates people from each other,” says Mader. “By contrast, a wiki pulls people in to look at content—on a single, shared page—that a whole team can edit. This streamlines collaboration and builds a stronger, more cohesive community.”
