Wiki Professionals Find A Market

February 18th, 2008 Phil Comments

WikiMatrix has launched a new service that gives organizations an easy way to find support and consultancy for deploying and running a wiki.

WikiMatrix / Wiki Consultants and Wiki Support – Compare them all via kwout

Consultants are listed by country, service and wiki engine supported. They can also be found via the wiki listings where side-by-side feature comparisons of wiki engines now also show the available commercial support organisations. With the increased use of wiki technologies for public, closed and private sites WikiMatrix’ service is a very timely offering.

Meet Me Halfway

February 18th, 2008 Phil Comments

Mezzoman is a small simple mashup that helps people get together. Given two locations and an activity it finds suitable locations for people to meet that’s at roughly the halfway point. This screencast from DemoGirl shows how straightforward the application is to use.

Mezzoman – (Beta) via kwout

The application can be used in from the main website, or via Facebook where, depending on privacy settings, it may already know your friends’ locations.

Mezzoman | Facebook via kwout

Developed by Mark Zider and Tim Dempski, the inspiration behind the application is best summed up in Tim’s post:

“Mezzoman…is a mashup we created for a simple reason…Our friends live all over the place and we were tired (and so were they) of trying to find places to meet.”

Currently in beta, the application has tremendous scope for further development by extending the number of participants, range of activities or linking to transportation, scheduling and reservation systems.
