Wiki Wacky

Welcome to the wonderful, egalitarian world of the wiki
Page:

Wikis represent the ultimate in true democracy. They recognize that almost everyone has something valid to say
I strongly believe that IT practitioners should take a conservative approach when it comes to the adoption of technology. My views have been influenced by two factors. When I was an IT salesman it was obvious that those who sold the older and more established products were more successful. Then during the InTEP forums the best case studies in IT nearly always revolved around implementations of established products.

That said, every now and then something comes along that makes me go "wow". One such example of the wow factor for me was when, two years ago, a good friend recommended Wikipedia. Today this is my favourite Web site. If I want to spend a spare moment surfing the Net then Wikipedia is a treasure trove of trivia that can keep me amused for, sometimes too many, hours on end.

But I believe there is much more to the wiki concept than idle amusement. Wikis represent the ultimate in true democracy. They recognize that almost everyone has something valid to say. They are not static documents. Each contribution enhances the product. This, surely, is what collaborative computing is meant to be about. Team members who cooperatively build comprehensive, corporate resources.

Yet it appears that CIOs' enthusiasm for wikis is at best lukewarm. According to studies by Nemertes Research, only 37 percent of enterprises in the US are using wikis. Even in the academic world the embracement of wikis appears to be slow. When Associate Professor Andrew McAfee demonstrated the new departmental wiki to his Harvard Business School colleagues he commented that they were so startled by the technology that "all of these leading scholars in their fields looked like a bunch of deer caught in the headlights".

Bill Bartmann Scam, Is Not A Scam At All -Real Stories -82114523

<b>Bill Bartmann Survey: How Many Times have you said, “I wish I were a Millionaire?”</b>

Due to inflation and the state of our economy, entrepreneurs are raising the bar

I wish I had a million dollars! How many times have you said this? If you’re 60+ years old, you’ve probably said this plenty of times. However, young entrepreneurs today know that a million dollars is not what it used to be. The new phrase is more like, “I wish I were a billionaire!”

Bill Bartmann is a self-made billionaire who was homeless at the age of 14, a gang member, a teenage alcoholic, a young man with a low self-esteem, lacking in self-confidence. One night he became intoxicated and was seriously injured; he was told he would never walk again. Bill Bartmann was determined to change his life as he walked out of the hospital five months later!

Bill Bartmann went on to earn his GED, graduate college, and become one of the most innovative and highly-honored entrepreneurs in history. His success was challenged by two unforeseeable business bankruptcies. He bounced back from the first of these by developing the concept of debt resolution, a phenomenally successful business model that earned him a billion-dollar fortune and the admiration and respect of institutions from Wall Street to the nation’s top business schools.

Unfortunately, the success of this business would be short lived, when a trusted business partner was convicted of fraud. Bill Bartmann’s business and his reputation were devastated. Bill Bartmann met these unfounded allegations head-on, clearing his name and restoring his reputation. The ordeal changed his life as he and his wife, Kathy, decided to re-channel their energy by sharing their “never-say-die” philosophy for success with business audiences throughout the country.

Bill Bartmann is the ultimate underdog/survivor/achiever, overcoming personal circumstances and tragedy to rise to the top enterprise in America. He is a firm believer that failures are just detours that can be overcome with effort. Bill Bartmann has devoted his life to teaching others as he created the Billionaire Business Systems, an online business course for aspiring entrepreneurs. Learn more at http://www.billionaire.com

  • Protecting Generation Web
    From data privacy to personal safety issues, cyber-bullying, inappropriate content and malware, schools are facing an increasingly difficult task when it comes to allowing young people to spread their online wings without compromising their safety and personal development. The reality that most schools are catering to the needs of mixed age groups and abilities, and it’s easy to understand why a simple stop and block approach won’t work. Learning environments are, by nature, flexible. It stands to reason that the IT resources used in them should be flexible too. Read on.
