Some of the wikis above use the exact same MediaWiki software, (perhaps in an earlier generation) as what Wikipedia uses.  But some of them use a completely different WYSIWIG type software.  The reasons for both are to hide the underlying HTML from the inexperienced editor, but also perhaps from the editor who doesn't like looking at all the clutter that an involved HTML page can generate.  Most of these Wikis preserve all old versions, however it seems that both sites.google.com and PBWiki do not.


Collaborative Sites No Longer Existing
  • The Heritage Network used to be a wiki displaying historical and genealogy details about the Northwest (mostly Washington state).  It has since been taken done, probably due to spamming.  I noticed when I used it last, maybe back in 2008, that all the "recent changes" were spam.
  • The WikBack (Wikipedia Feedback) used to be a forum, evidently created as an alternative to the Wikipedia Review Forum which was seen, by some, as being too abrasive.  WikBack didn't last very long, perhaps two or three months before it ceased.  I don't know why they ceased.
  • I know I joined Wiki Underground at one time, but I can't for the life of me, remember what it was.

If you are searching for versatility, accessorize using a necklace and allow your character shine through using a cross shaped pendant made in light gold and studded with diamonds.

USA Knols Lists

I am compiling USA Knols lists to promote the lists on twitter and facebook.

http://knol.google.com/k/narayana-rao-k-v-s-s/usa-knol-directory/2utb2lsm2k7a/2832#

I just started and made the framework of the lists. I plan to add around 50 knols to each list. A knol with page views more than 500 is categorized as interesting knol.

Presently I added some of your knols in some lists. Request you to add some more of your knols. The initial response is good and once sizeable number of is accumulated I can promote the knols more aggressively in social media.
