JOTSPOT - Have you seen this?

Thanks Johnnie Moore, you have just taken me in a new direction - I'll tell you what I mean - yesterday, I was at Tony Goodson's place fixing up his wireless network configuration, eating his chocolate and watching his valiant attempts to cook for his two children (whilst his wife Annie was away on a short interstate trip). At the same time as cooking, Tony was also trying to deal with Georgia and Jay being awake! It's true that men can only do one thing at a time!! <most amusing> In spite of all this, Tony still managed to conduct a conversation with me; he kept saying this word "Wiki" which I thought was the hairy creature "Chewbakka" from Star Wars. Eventually Tony explained what a wiki was. And, when I read your weblog entry and was then directed to Stuart Henshalls weblog, it all started to fall into place for me.
I have really enjoyed writing my weblog but my interest is more related to the things I see, think and experience on the journey rather than the details of the logistics of the journey itself (If you can get my metaphor). If you read some of my weblog, they are more like short essays on places, experiences, ideas - not my day to day victories, disaters and interactions.
So, after reading Johhnie More and then being sent to Stuart Henshall, I started to search for an ASP based implementation of a Wiki that I could start to work with.
The only one I could find was JotSpot - I have requested a BETA but they are not automated and I will have to wait for a couple of days to get setup.
It looks like it will give me the outle that I personally am looking for.
Below is what i wrote to Jotspot as my reason for wanting a wiki...

I am wanting to overcome the limitation of web-logging that is related to the chronological order imposed by the web-log structure. My weblogs are ususally ideas, or "trains of thought" that I wish to come back to from time to time and amend or expand - the wiki seems far more suited to this use than the weblog.

Wow what a response to giving up on "traditional blogging". I'm forced to declare my hand early. For the last couple of months I've been working with Jerry Michalski, Judith Meskill and Dina Mehta on creating a new kind of... [Read More]
