War 2.0
June 9th, 2006
Hi dudes, it’s been a while. I usually don’t discuss anything related to the news or politics here on this site, but I just had a thought. The war in Iraq is very Web 2.0. All this news is floating around about Al-Zarqawi’s death and the idea that it won’t stop the war, but it will make a difference. The opposition in this war is a distributed network. There’s no head honcho, no “Hitler” in this situation because it’s distributed and in some ways it’s a bottom up approach. I know it’s weird to talk about this stuff, kind of random, but I hadn’t posted in a while, I need to get the ball rolling again.

You know what those insurgents need? A wiki!

Hehe, I miss you Tim, you and your talk of Wiki’s. You’ll be happy to know that the new team I’m working with is using a Wiki for project documentation, yay!

Totally OT, I’ve only just stumbled across your site, but Twiki is particularly good at documentation of pretty large scale software projects. I’ve successfully beaten two of my employers into using it, both Windows shops with natural aversions to anything non-MS, and both ended up loving it.
