[...] Google’s office strategy just got a whole lot richer with the announced acquisition of the wiki based company Jotspot. A business oriented service that plugs a long list of different applications like calendars and photo sharing into a wiki framework, we called Jotspot “the best business-facing hosted wiki available” when we reviewed its newest iteration this summer. We also reported on rumors that Yahoo! was going to acquire the company in May. See all our previous coverage of Jotspot here. [...]

We’ve been using Jotspot for a long time, and despite the wacky formatting issues, it worked great. Then this 2.0 rolls out… and the system, while functionally beautiful, is atrocious. The slowdowns are killing us. They either didn’t do proper testing, or need to update their servers. It’s like having a Ferrari with a Geo’s engine. Repeated queries to the Help desk have gleaned no information…
I’m ready to cancel it and move to something better BUT– big problem with these things is that you can’t just “come off” it. You have to migrate all your old data and links. This is a huge nightmare… So here we are in vendor lock-in, and the vendor has done something stupid and won’t admit to it.

How very Web 1.0.

“Jotspot is also beta testing a non-hosted version of its wiki that is installed on a user’s server.”

When is the expected release date for this? Does anybody know?

[...] Anyway, we talked about everything from whether we’re in the middle of a bubble: “yes” to what his favorite Google keywords were (he explained how JotSpot’s employees brainstorm interesting new keywords, then measure them, and get rid of any that don’t work after a couple of weeks). He wouldn’t share his favorites, though, saying that was his competitive advantage. That’s the third time I’ve heard that from CEOs this month, by the way. Until my video gets up sometime in September you should check out TechCrunch’s writings about JotSpot 2.0. Why take that long to get a video up? Cause I need a bunch in the bag so that I can bootstrap the show. Plus editing and compression are a real PITA. Nothing like slamming out a text blog. [...]

[...] El servicio de wikis JotSpot ha integrado servicios nuevos a parte de las apliaciones instalables que trae. En este caso integra apliaciones como hojas de cálculo, calendarios para crear grupos de trabajo, gestor de archivos, gestor de proyectos, etc. que nos permitirá expandir los atributos de un wiki para su buen desarrollo. Blogum ha escrito sobre esta aplicación web, a partir de Techcrunch. También se puede instalar la aplicación en el servidor de la empresa que tengamos, pero en este caso hay que desembolsar más dinero Dejo aqui un gráfico hecho por mi de los planes que tiene JotSpot. « Podcasting de esta semana en Onda Cero Radio León | [...]

Hi Daniele,

We have a brand new WYSIWYG editor in the new JotSpot and I think you’ll like it a lot. It loads almost instantly and is a lot smoother to use. Also our toolbar now floats down with you when you scroll down to the bottom of a long page, which is handy. Sign up for a free trial account and try it!

(for a full list of editor improvements we’ve done lately, see the Wiki release notes: http://help.jot...ki/ReleaseNotes)

I love the concept of JotSpot and think that these product changes are definitely a step in the right direction. However, the problem with their application (at least the free version that I use) is twofold: 1) the WYSIWYG editing tool sucks…it’s moody, sometimes it does what you want it to do, sometimes it reformats your text as it solely wishes; if you have a long page and you’re trying to edit the bottom of the page, forget it, you’ll be trying to get the right formatting for ages, and 2) it’s slow. I am hoping those points are improved in the new design.

I’ve just created a Jotspot site for my community group to try it out. I love it’s functionality but can’t do what I need to be able to do in 10 pages, and I want a logo. See my post about it here http://jodiem.wordpress.com.

The other ‘non-wiki’ player in the space is http://www.centraldesktop.com. Our firm started it using Central Desktop after getting lost in the complicated nature of Jot.

The new interface looks much better than I remember it from six months ago. Good job Jot.

Alas, we are hooked on Central Desktop now and feel that they have an easier interface and more powerful solution.

I’m trying this out here at work.. but keep getting errors with the calendar.

I also edited my Global links, and that messed the entire wiki up..

I like the service a lot so far, I’m hoping these errors are just from how busy the server is.

That’s a great interview, Nathan. You did a really good job of drawing out the benefits of wikis within business. And it confirms my suspicions that this is an SME bid.

Thanks for the post, I always try and keep up with companies that I have featured. I did an interview with Jotspot co-founder, Joe Kraus a while ago. He had some very interesting things to say about the differences in running an internet company pre-bust and now.
