WikiYou : A place for Unauthorized biographies .

Google might be working to archive all of the world's information, but WikiYou is trying to get unauthorized biographies for every person on earth.

Seems a bit out there, but nonetheless it is an intriguing experiment. WikiYou is breaking new grounds by taking the Wikipedia direction to the mainstream. You see, if you write a biography on Wikipedia, the sources have to be reliable and verifiable, leaving many regular people in the dark. But with WikiYou, regardless if sources are reliable or verifiable, biographies will get up.

Could this project turn in to a giant mess of spam? Or could it actually work out so that we can have open records and stories for everyone on earth? So far it looks like its runny smoothly with many every day people inputting biographies, and many of their friends and contacts adding to them.

Wikispaces Integrated into SourceForge.net for User Collaboration.

Wikispaces has been integrated with SourceForge.net, offering its wiki collaboration tools to the repository for open source software and is now available to all users. This is the largest wiki integration of its kind to date.

This of course offers more social networking capabilities for users of SourceForge, in an arena that already lends itself to a collaborative nature. The integration of Wikispaces will aid in documentation and multi-authored notes, and will enhance the communication tools that are more than necessary for ongoing open source projects. Bringing this level of communication tools directly into SourceForge is probably a much needed integration, and will hopefully improve the efforts of SourceForge users, reducing the need to go elsewhere for documentation purposes.

New Compendium of Knowledge

The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a "citizens' compendium of everything," is an experimental new wiki project. The project, started by a founder of Wikipedia, aims to improve on that model by adding "gentle expert oversight" and requiring contributors to use their real names.

As of March 25, 2007, they were working on over 1,100 articles.One of our projects these days is The Big Cleanup. It's a good way to get acquainted with their work and help out.

Global knowledge base built by a community of contributors, and open to everyone.

Freebase.com is home to a global knowledge base: a structured, searchable, writeable and editable database built by a community of contributors, and open to everyone. It could be described as a data commons. Freebase.com is enabled by the technology of Metaweb, which is described at www.metaweb.com.

Freebase is still in alpha with a limited number of users as we get things tidied up. With our Beta launch, Freebase will be open for general read with no registration required.

Freebase.com allows anyone to contribute, structure, search, copy and use data, through either the Freebase.com web site or through application program interfaces (APIs). Freebase makes it easy put data in and pull data out for any commercial or non-commercial purpose.

How is Freebase related to Metaweb?
Freebase was built by the team at Metaweb using technology they developed to allow extremely large volumes of data to be collected, organized, connected and modified by a community of contributors, developers, publishers, and people who just plain like data. It's also a great example of what's possible using Metaweb's technology.

Your personal wiki, at your service.

StikiPad is. Officially, it's a hosted wiki provider that lets you collaborate online - unofficially, it's a blank piece of paper where you decide its use.

StikiPad is a hosted wiki solution (What's a Wiki?) that gives you an easy way to organize your information and share information with others.

The world's largest collection of links that anyone can edit.

Chainki is the world's biggest collection of links that anyone can edit.

Key features of Chainki:

* non-profit website
* open to all editors - anyone can edit the links - the website uses MediaWiki, the same wiki software as Wikipedia
* open content - anyone can have a copy of the data

This site is a collection of website links, based on the world's biggest collection of website links, but which anybody can edit.

If you have a website, then this is sure to be your first question.

The simple answer is, you do it yourself by clicking on the edit tab at the top of the page where it belongs.

Some pointers:

1. Try and find the best place to put it, by either using the "search" field on the left, or by going through from the Main Page down to the best category for it. If it is your site and you put it in the wrong place, it will probably just get removed - if YOU can't be bothered to find out the right place for your site, why should anyone else?.
2. Try and find if it already exists on the site. See the page on searching for help in that.
3. Please, if you can link back to this site from your site. Seems fair eh? And besides, the more popular this site becomes, the more easily people will be able to find your site.
4. Note that most of the pages are in alphabetical order (though I admit there are many that aren't), so please try and respect the order
5. The help gives an example of editing a site page
6. Don't spam by putting your site on a page which you think is more popular! Put the site on the page which it most belongs. Abusing sites may be removed completely!

WikiSeek : a search engine that indexed Wikipedia sites

WikiSeek is a search engine that has indexed only Wikipedia sites, plus sites that are linked to from Wikipedia. It serves two purposes. First, it is a much better Wikipedia search engine than the one on Wikipedia (and has been built with Wikipedia’s assistance and permission). Second, the fact that it also indexes sites that are linked to from Wikipedia means that, presumably, it will return only very high quality results and very little spam. It won’t show every relevant result to a query, but it will certainly give a good overview of a subject without all the mes
