see Wiki Weblog (for Back Links)

a Wi Ki that supports Web Log features (though I suppose you could do it the other way around, as well)

I run a hosting service Wikilogs Com at http://www.wikilogs.com/

I just found my 'Web Log' wiki page from Sept'99. It says...

"Web Log-s are basically running chronologies of annotated links that the logger finds interesting, and perhaps other random thought-blips.

Usually structured as a multi-day document, most recent stuff at top.

I could see a Wiki node representing some chunk of time (a week?), and using it as a springboard to other nodes of commentary. The problem is that this doesn't create a web of links among the individual little chunks.

Another approach would be to make a separate Wiki node for each nugget, and the Web Log would really be the Recent Changes page..."

How funny is that? It only took 26 months to get around to doing it...

What kind of person might like to run a Wiki Weblog instead of a straight Web Log?

An individual who wants to write about ideas, relate them to each other, and refine them.

Someone who's been intrigued by the idea of Hyper Text might be interested.

I could see Vladimir Nabokov using a wiki instead of hundreds of index cards to develop a story. :)

Someone who's thought, "This weblogging stuff looks interesting, but you're always just throwing away your notes as they slide out of view" might be interested.

<b>Wiki Logs</b> --2003/11/07 00:53 GMT<br> I agree that the idea of a WikiLog is right. What doesn't work right now is the presentation.

A weblog is very personal. A weblog is representative of a PERSON, not just their IDEAS.

Thus, people want their weblog to look nice. They want finer control over the appearance of their page. This is very important! Don't think it's just trivial!

So what we need is a Wiki Engine that is custom made for being a blog. It ''does'' need to be different than normal wiki software. The input format is optimized for adjusting appearance, the "Standard Pages" are different, it may have special controls, it has Builtin Threading, etc., etc.,. --Lion Kimbro (http://speakeasy.org/~lion)
