JotSpot has instructional videos, FAQs, and a knowledge base for learning
more about how to use the JotSpot service. And this will come in handy;
JotSpot has a lot of additional functionality, including a variety of applica-
tions you can add to your wiki, like a calendar, RSS feed reader, company
directory, and blog.
NOte
Jotspot used to be a paid service, but google acquired it in late
2006. as of this writing, Jotspot has suspended new accounts and
billing for its services. i suspect that when the transition to google is
complete, Jotspot will relaunch as a mostly free service. stay tuned.
PBwiki
PBwiki (pbwiki.com) has a simple one-step process for making a wiki. You
enter the name of your wiki, and provide an e-mail address. Once that's
done a URL is e-mailed to you. Click on that URL and boom, you have a
wiki. You'll be asked to create a password and specify whether you want
your wiki to be public or not.
PBwiki is not as slick and extensive as JotSpot, but it's not as expensive or
intimidating either. Once you've logged in, you're shown the front page of
your site along with some pointers to documentation. he PBwiki folks
encourage you to play with the features and experiment with some of the
oferings like RSS feeds and the ability to publish a sidebar on a blog. here's
also a very lively forum available.
PBwiki is free, but a premium version is available for $9.95 a month with
higher levels of service going up to $34.95 a month for corporate level blogs.
he additional costs pay for more ile space, more available designs, and
more features.
SeedWiki
Like PBwiki, SeedWiki (seedwiki.com) ofers accounts that are primarily
free, and like PBwiki it's very easy to sign up. Accounts require a name, e-
mail address, and password.
Once you've registered, you're given the option to set up a wiki or a blog—
unlike the other services they're not set up for you. Setting up a new wiki
means specifying a name for it, a language, a description, and a folder—
in other words, the subject under which the wiki should be listed.
