After my two posts, i have found some interesting ideas in this article about Wiki applications:
-> You don’t know Tiddly, Wiki
The part of the post i’m looking at is this one:
Speaking of small. I’ll close with a slight twist on Wikis that you really need to know about. There’s a chap named Jeremy Ruston who took the Wiki concept and adapted it to what he defines as ‘microcontent.’ In the same way that you don’t always write a full story on a blog, or a full letter in an e-mail you have microcontent.
So he shaped a Wiki in a fashion that would best help him corral microcontent and called it a TiddlyWiki. See, you thought Wiki was the worst name you’d ever heard of and now we have TiddlyWiki. When I heard about TiddlyWikis I was twice as excited about them as I was when I learned of Wikis.
Almost everything we do in our information economy jobs is about microcontent.
We don’t write papers in business anymore, we don’t do full research studies, we guestimate 95% of the time, we don’t often run fully integrated advertising campaigns, and we don’t watch all of the TV show.
We don’t usually digest much of anything these days in huge gulps other than stress.
Instead we take sips from a thousand different wine glasses each day and swirl the wine around in our mouths trying to identify the ingredients so we can understand them, appreciate them, and find out which ones are worth swallowing.
It’s very interesting to see how much important is the microcontent stuff…
As i have noticed in the last post, it’s very closed to our mind way of thinking and learning processes…
There is a lot of potential in this stuff and probably it helps us to make better activities in everyday experience…
That’s the purpose of the tecnology, doesn’t it?
A sort of non linear approach to knowledge…
A more adaptive and dynamic content…
Some others good pointers…
work in progress…
