I’d also add to the vote the following websites:
1. Central Desktop
2. Jive Software
3. 37signals

Thanks for the link. We think that 2.0 is a helpful and substantial overhaul of PBwiki.

As the founder of PBwiki, I can say that we don’t see ourselves competing against Wikia or Wetpaint at this point - both of them are media / user-generated content companies. We’re a tools company. We’re sort of in the same space as Atlassian Confluence, Jive Clearspace, MS Sharepoint, and Socialtext, but we’re the only serious *hosted* wiki solution for businesses out there. And we host more business wikis than anybody else - 30,000 businesses, in fact, including over a third of the Fortune 500.

This leaves the remnants of Jot (i.e. the dramatically scaled-back Google Sites) and not much else. Jot seriously would have been our worst nightmare if they hadn’t been bought and shot in the head. Joe had a killer team.

How do content producers benefit from their wiki site contributions?

They need to do something with Google Sites quickly approaching.

I seriously think Zoho Wiki should be included in the poll!

What about deki wiki from Mindspace? I can’t believe they were left out as they are one of the biggest, if not the biggest!

Kudos PBWiki, but something much more simple, while still a Wiki, is needed for the “rest of us”.

It is not 500 000 Wikis that will exist, it is 1 000 times that number. Each one of us needs one. http://virteal.appjet.net/wiki

Make sure you also look at eTouch SamePage: http://www.etouch.net

BTW, we put up a video walking people through the new 2.0 features, too. http://pbwiki.com/content/pbwiki-beta

I have started several PBWiki wikis for people with a variety of skill levels, and they take to it quickly. This service is a painless introduction to the wiki way.

The other advantage to PBWiki is that they manage to keep the wiki spam problem under control. Google’s web and blog hosting projects have been full of spam.

PbWiki is cool as you can play Super Mario Flash there!

The Internet does everything! TV, movies, phone, allow us to wake each other up and now play Nintendo games! Nintendo better jump on this ship - so much do to in this space! Ads in the game - interact with the ads… possibilities are endless

Here is a link to Super Mario Flash….

How about Dokuwiki?

yet to have a wiki but have heard a lot about pbwiki. Haven’t heard of the others apart from Google sites, thats because i rcvd a mail from them.

@Josh #6,

I think you mean MindTouch Deki Wiki. Yes, to my knowledge with our 2,000+ daily downloads and our recently announced free and ad-free hosted site: MindTouch htttp://wik.is , which receives hundreds of registrations a day I would say we are indeed the fastest growing and the dominant force in the Enterprise / Business wiki space. Seems strange to me too that we were not mentioned. Alas, it’s the go go blogosphere…

This article at The Standard about MindTouch is one of the more referenced and researched articles I’ve read: http://snurl.com/21qiq

… particularly their GTD versions.

I evaluated most of these for our marketing team. Clearspace by Jive Software is by far the best of the lost. Polished, feature rich and yet easy to use. Confluence is another one that stood out. Dekiwiki is also a very interesting and fast developing open source alternative.

Tiddlywikis baby!

@14. can’t sign up for your service… i get “Sorry, our servers are currently overworked! Please try again in a little bit.”

Middle america goes with stuff that works and PBwiki is it. a random school teacher told me about it and I acted as if it was the 1st time I’d ever heard of peanut butter wiki

Tech + kid theme = adoption

I’ve watched pbwiki grow since day 1. They really are becoming a great service and I love the new features. We have taken a slightly different approach (shameless plug) and created group shared communities, although now wikis they are similar in concept. We have created one for TechCrunch as a test to show what we can do. Please check it out at: http://techcrunch.onmycity.com

Good Luck!

Thanks for all the great comments guys. Of course I love PBwiki best, but consumers are lucky in that there are a good number of decent alternatives.

For example, PBwiki is hosted-only, so folks who want to run their own server can choose one of the many open-source wikis available.

A few specific responses:

Luis: “How do content producers benefit from their wiki site contributions?”

Most of our content producers are focused on internal collaboration. The main benefit is being able to work together more efficiently and effectively.

For public wikis, the usual motivation is adding to a helpful resource. For example, the Twitter wiki (http://twitter.pbwiki.com/) is a community-produced resource to help people get more out of Twitter.

Raul: “I evaluated most of these for our marketing team. Clearspace by Jive Software is by far the best of the lost. Polished, feature rich and yet easy to use.”

I would love if you got in touch with me to share some of these specifics. We realize that no product (including PBwiki) is perfect, and I think other services are a great source of ideas.

Thanks all!

I vote for WetPaint

As a platform for a team or a project I prefer Clearwiki.

We’re looking for a wiki… still haven’t found a really great one.

Google Sites: Don’t like the permissions controls or evil TOS.
PBWiki: Don’t like the price.
WikiSpaces: I forget why.
MediaWiki on our own servers: That might be the answer.
The list goes one.
