Wetpaint's wiki widgets

wetpaints wiki widgetsWetpaint has entered the widget market like so many other companies seem to be doing lately. Wetpaint is an online hosted service that lets users create their very own blog/wiki on their topic of interest, than connects you to others that have the same interests. DLS covered the news of Wetpaint opening to the public last June. Their service has upgraded and has now added the ability to embed widgets into a webpage with an easy edit button. The widgets can be anything from a calendar to YouTube clips. The new widget service stems from increasing customer demands to have more customization abilities. Business customers have been another target for the company. They have been using Wetpaint's wiki service to build community sites. Wetpaint makes it easy for customers since there is no code involved. The service is free to users, and has no cap on storage limits.

Wetpaint hosted wiki service launches

Wetpaint

After a long private beta period, hosted wiki service Wetpaint publicly launched this weekend. If you're familiar with JotSpot, there's not much to tell about Wetpaint: it's a service that lets anyone show up, create a wiki, and edit it via a WYSIWYG interface. It has all of the Web 2.0 trappings, including RSS feeds, tagging, and some nice Ajaxy touches. Pages have a prominent "EasyEdit" button that lets you edit content pretty much instantly without loading a new page. Michael Arrington at TechCrunch found the service a little more newbie-friendly than JotSpot and the many available templates attractive. Wetpaint wikis are free to create and edit, but the service is supported by contextual advertising. If you want to get an idea of what you can do with Wetpaint, a number of active wikis are linked to from the Wetpaint front page, and there's also a sandbox site you can play with to get used to formatting, tagging, and so on.
