Get a WiKi - With Just One Clicky

Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed

What is a Wiki?  Many of you have probably heard of WikiPedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Currently there are 2,457,781 articles in English on their site.  Many Bloggers link to Wikipedia for explanations and definitions of odd and peculiar terms, words or phrases.  What's it for?

You'll find numerous links to overviews, editing, questions, help, contents, searchable categories, featured content, browse their A–Z index and more.  Now, how would you like your own?  Trust me, You'll love it!!

I think everyone should have "their own" Wiki-Custom Pedia, let me show you how to get yours for FREE, it'll be a quicky!  But first, before I do, you are probably asking yourself this, "Self?  What is it, and why would I want my own Wiki?"  Glad you asked. :-) It's not a WikiPedia, it's a Wiki!


"The PBwiki is the world's largest provider of hosted business and educational wikis. They host over 400,000 wikis, serve millions of users per month, and 96% of their business users would recommend PBwiki to a friend or associate. Leading companies from AT&T to Wal-Mart, including 1/3 of the Fortune 500 companies, choose PBwiki to help them with knowledge management, collaboration, project management, and a host of other business processes and workflows." Quoted by PBwiki

        


Collaboration for over 30,000 businesses now including ActiveRain

Now use your imagination.  If you're a Broker, a REALTOR® in a community, A National Lender, it doesn't matter, I guarantee you will find a way to put a Wiki to good use in your business.  Today I created the ActiveRain Wiki, a sample to share with you that will allow you to see some of the endless possibilities.  Jon asked me to push the today with these types of technology tools, so I am! 
To start your own, you know what to do next! (Hint...it's RED)  lol~

                                                            

Create totally secured wiki's, they do have plans available, but I chose the ones that come for FREE!

                   

Important:  You might want to put some time, thought, and effort into how you want to use a wiki for your business.  If you're like me, you're going to get very excited when you see all the cool stuff you can do with this, but my suggestion is to take your time, evaluate it, do some research, and then make this a powerful tool in your business. This one goes on my top 10 list, IT'S A REALLY HOT TOOL! 

Now that's a quicky wiki!  :-)                                                         My Outside Blog: REnetBlog.com

Brad, I am going to have to agree with Kate on this one.

"I don't really care all I know is I want it.  If you say it is a good thing, I want it!"

I now have one more bookmark to add to my other 150 I haven't had time to decifer yet.  You guys are right, this AR thing is very addicting, but I love all the info.
