EcommerceWiki
MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | CategoriesWiki is great for sharing knowledge and ideas, but what about sharing income? What about a collaboration service such as Wiki:AsynchronyDotCom, but organized (better?) as a wiki? Wiki:EcommerceWiki?

Typically ecommerce is thought to involve tangible goods, rather than services, in in the sense of collaborative communities. For instance, both the Shakers and the Oneida colonies in the USA became famous for the hand-crafted products they sold. The only community-centered service organization I can think of was the Heaven's Gate cult, who apparently ran a thriving business in Web site design and production.
The kind of high-tech people who gravitate towards wikis only seem to be collaborative souls. They are actually solo artists, who perform a symphony by playing a series of solo parts in the same orchestra pit, only occasionally at the same time. Writers and programmers, unless they are institutionalized as salaried employees in software shops or magazine and newspaper editorial offices, tend to be loners, at least while they are creating.
A wiki for marketing a collaborative service is an attractive notion. I can't see what the service might be, though it's easy to imagine products (software) a wiki-marketable commodity. -- JerryMuelver
As far as I know, our donation-based MathSongsWiki seems to be the first attempt in this direction. Counterexamples welcome. Feb 18, 2002. 11:19 PST FridemarPache
The Google:MMORPG+Entropia seems somehow related to this.
