WikiBlogging

MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | Categories

WikiBlogging (new approach, Nov. 2006) is a method to take a snapshot of a complete wikipage in its HTML format and forward it to a BlogService.

Benefits:

an additional backup of a frozen wikipage, but with a backlink to the original living wiki page
an (author selected) history of single wikipages
each wiki author takes more care for the page and gives it exposure to a wider public
embedding wikis in the blogosphere gives new infrastructure (e.g. better search/notification possibilities )
fostering WikiWeaving via blogging
cultivating BidirectionalLinks
inviting constructive linkfriendly peers in the blogosphere
filtering wiki content via different wikis by single authors ViewPoints

Currently the author has not yet found such a practise in the blogosphere, but he would be happy to WikiWeave with similar minds there (2006/11/13). -- FridemarPache

Notes:

The author suggests a WikiPragma (that even could evolve into a button) with many functions: ThisWikiPageBlogsTo.
Using Google:WikiBlogging the author found
- http://www.csof.net/node.php?id=604 as an early precursor of the idea to combine wiki with blogging. However our new approach works different. The old approach imbedded a blog into a wiki, whereas the new approach, embeds wiki into an external blog. Complete wikipage snapshots become blog posts.
- http://www.bliki.co.uk/e/page/test?catname=%2FWikiBlogging, another old approach
- Some hours later 2006/11/15-0:37 European Wintertime: WikiBlogging is on top of Google
  - This demonstrates an honestly deserved PageRank, only done by innovative thinking (with only four men that helped (AFIK) on the author's WikiBlogging initiative with their dialogue. Find out yourself. Thanks go to all the people, who have been building Meatball. Now imagine the efficiency of a great number of AffiliatedWikis with many AffiliatedWikizen?s, affiliated by WikiBlogging. The future of business is Online conversation (not Spam) CluetrainManifesto
Because there are several BlogServices, insert at the bottom of the page each BlogService, that blogs this page using ThisWikiPageBlogsTo

Due to heavy spam attacks in this wiki forum, the following ForwardLink to the resp. blog needs the manual help of the administrator to become a real link. Thank you, Admin. Please, delete this italicized text after deleting the blanks in the following AutoMutilatedLink?, in the case you help the author.

About a month ago, I've started to copy source from some wiki pages, and post them to blogs that I write for. This tries to bring blog readers into wiki to communities. Example: http://www.smartmobs.com/archive/2006/11/11/citizenengagedg....html

actually did this 1 day before you wrote this page! :) Looks like we were thinking along the same lines. I think it's an interesting way to try and pull people from the blogosphere into wikis. -- SamRose

Sam: Have you tried sending any meatball pages to the oddmuse bliki that you are building yet? -- HansWobbe

Hans, not in the way that Fridemar is doing here. Instead, I am writing wiki pages in my bliki, with NearLinks to Community and meatball, and then posting that to my blog. -- SamRose

Also, due to spam attacks on Meatball, recommend/suggest maybe creating an OddWiki instance for WikiBlogging, and creating NearLinks or InterWiki links to Meatball from that. This can take some of the pressure off of Meatball, but still allow Meatball to be a source/resource for WikiBlogging. Plus, OddWiki and OddMuse is set up to be a blog itself. -- SamRose

Welcome Sam, it's great to hear from you, that we are realizing the same idea of WikiBlogging. Best thing is, that the more people are in resonance with this idea, the more efficicient it will be. Meanwhile I am studying your hints in the CommunityWiki and learn to apreciate your suggestions. I need some time yet to make me full compatible. Thank you for your warm welcome on [SocialSynergy:OpenBusiness] -- [fridemar]
