Wetpaint - Free wiki websites

wetpaint-free-wiki-websites.jpgWikis are always a great way to promote and organize the information about a specific topic with a collaborative team. Wikis allow users to edit the content or add more information, even if they are anonymous. However, you almost always can restrict permissions on your wikis.

Wetpaint is maybe the most easy way to build a wiki page and also to promote it or share it with friends. Besides that, Wetpaint is free.

Although there are many alternatives to build a wiki, the advantage of this system is its simplicity. There you don’t need to be a geek or programmer to build a decent and nice wiki page. It is built by using a set of tools and the process is like writing a document in Word.

In this system, the pages are not only wikis. Actually, the pages have enough tools to be a combination of blogs, forums and wikis: “Wetpaint is different. With Wetpaint, anyone with a passion can create an entirely new website and invite others to help them build it. And it’s easy — adding to a Wetpaint site is as simple as click and type. And when you put thousands of heads together to solve a problem, the results can be astonishing. And we really believe that”.

The pages can be configured with a subdomain (xxxx.wetpaint.com) or you can use your own domain, which is great. Recently Wetpaint added social networking functionality to its wiki offering. This increases the value of the system and it is certainly a good step forward. Very appropriate in these “Web 2.0″ times.
