zoho-show-logo.gif  I just found this really interesting feature: a web 2.0 presentation site  that allows you to create and show your presentations online. Pretty cool, huh?.

You can embed your presentation or keep it on their server or put it in a webpage. See samples of some presentations online. They have interesting themes too.

wiki wiki wiki: the good, the bad and the ugly

wikipedia.jpgOf course by now everyone knows wikipedia the most famous and infamous citizen collaboration project. Well.. there are few noteworthy others using the same concept:

1- Mengospedia [link]: well this is my very own wiki created for Middle East NGOs. I have just launched it and am hoping that people will take the plunge and participate. Not sure if they will though. But.. we’ll see. This is a unique and first-time project in the Arab Middle East.

citpendium.png2- Citzendium [link]: Well this wiki promises to tackle the ‘problem’s of wikipedia. Its motto is “A wiki with experts and real names. A new knowledge society.” It says that

“The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a “citizens’ compendium of everything,” is an open wiki project aimed at creating an enormous, free, and reliable encyclopedia.  The project, started by a founder of Wikipedia, aims to improve on the Wikipedia model by adding “gentle expert oversight” and requiring contributors to use their real names.”

Hmmm… I am not sure I am thrilled with the idea. It seems we are back to regular encyclopedias, aren’t we? what’s the poin of it being a wiki then?

3-  Conservapedia [link]:  need I write more? :(

Well.. enough for now.. I think I got stuck at conservapedia.
