If you publish one or more websites, you will always look for good ways to get the word out about what you are doing. This afternoon, I ran across a new wiki designed specifically for web sites – AboutUs.org.
For those not familiar with the concept, a wiki is a web site that may be edited by anyone. The most well known wiki on the Internet is Wikipedia, but there are numerous other wikis using the same type of technology.
Because Wikipedia is so big and pervasive, it is very hard to edit. In addition, Wikipedia editors frown on any text that appears self-serving in any way. Wikipedia bills itself as the world’s largest encylopedia and its focus remains on providing extensive information.
AboutUs.org encourages web site owners to describe and promote their web sites. While it is too early to tell whether AboutUs will have any marketing value, it is a good place to learn how to use a wiki and it may very well provide a good promotional outlet for your web site.
