I am certainly interested. I spent the better half of the day emailing various photos from our exhibit at a Denver Home Theater show. It sounds much easier to just drop them on a page and let friends and clients see the content. Thanks.

It looks like a useful service. Unfortunately they have made the mistake that I think yahoo made and fixed a while ago.

They claim the rights to the content you upload. From their terms of service:

“By posting any User Content, you expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have a right to grant, to EWS a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, perform, display, and make derivative works of all such User Content and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed for use in connection with the Service.”

@Harshal Vaidya: Your Firefox must be crappy, because I made several pages in PikiWiki since this article came out, and I had many more tabs open with other sites, and not once did PikiWiki give me any trouble on my Firefox. Did Firefox crash once you enabled Drag and Drop?

Mike,

Interesting product but with some restrictions, especially the type of content that can be used (looks like only text, pictures, audio ,video).

Check out ZCubes (http://www.zcubes.com)

ZCubes is an omni-functional pure browser based platform that allows users to create unlimited web pages (wikis, albums, posters, portals, paintings etc) using simple drag drop functionality.

You can integrate media, websites, text, RSS feeds, games, gadgets, and even PAINT and HANDWRITE directly inside the browser.

Hence the platform allows you to express your creativity using a variety of content.

I would probably do at least 8 of the 10 things listed here: http://pikiwiki...ws/10things.jsp

Great concept. I’ll check it out later to see if it’s really as easy as it sounds.

I like the name PikiWiki. It’s easy to remember, like a song you can’t get out of your head.
