That’s cool: free PB wikis for wildfire victims

By WDavidStephenson | October 24, 2007

I love PBwiki: at last count I think I’d created more than a dozen of them, for everything from family health challenges to Web 2.0 strategies, and I think wikis are absolutely critical in crises because they allow anyone who has some bit of relevant information (and, in an unprecedented disaster, that could mean absolutely anyone!) to contribute, and anyone else to edit it.

So bravo to Ramit Sethi and the folks at PBwiki for donating free Premium wikis to victims of the wildfires (and thanks for quoting yours truly in the announcement!).

BTW, they also quote Leng Caloh, Managing Online Editor for KPBS, the PBS station that I cited earlier today for its leadership in using a variety of Web 2.0 tools as part of their coverage, which is also using a PBwiki (and, I forgot to mention earlier, also using Flickr photos — Caloh really gets it).
