Forum:CNET article about Wikia


 * Wikia's future lies in 'second screen' content by Rafe Needleman January 25, 2012 4:00 AM PST

Not sure if Wikia has the technical chops to pull of some of the ideas mentioned in this article, but alot of intriguing stuff. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 25 Jan 2012 11:26 AM Pacific


 * What I find the article is lacking and what I also consider the biggest advantage wikis have over other sites, is the opportunity to meet others interested in the same subject and to create something together with them. For me, the 'second screen' uses are irrelevant. This is Web 2.0 - I'm interested in creating, sharing and contributing not receiving and reading. — Sovq 14:05, January 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Good point. Unfortunately, most executives are look for short term monetization (a word I personally hate) and often building communities or user bases are secondary. However, with the rise of social media, wikis will be seen as needing to integrate more and adapt to Web 3.0 (whatever that is).
 * I just hope no one makes a wiki with pages limited to 140 characters. :-P -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 27 Jan 2012 6:08 PM Pacific
