So I got an email from WetPaint today. It’s a typical website newsletter, but it starts with an appeal to my ego:
I got to the end of the second paragraph and had to do a double take:
Yeah, lemme get right on that. Before one of those other Damian Bariexcas ganks it on me.

Well, if nothing else, their email to YOU inspired ME to create a wiki at wetpaint
You’re a good marketer, LOL!

Update – You can request an ad-free wiki from wetpaint. You just need to email them a request as an educator. When I did this it was pretty quick.
I like it becuase you can add a discussion thread to each of your pages. I find that very useful and I also think the “look” of it is a bit more web page and a bit less wiki.
What I hate about it – it doesn’t always play nice with IE and that is all we are allowed to have on our school computers (sniff, sniff).
