A Wiki and Social Networking: The Perfect Combination!

***Apologies for Receipt of Duplicate Postings***
Friends/

I recently received an announcement that WePaint (the
free-wiki site)
has Gone Social ! [

"Wetpaint Adds New Social Dimension to Wikis

Wetpaint becomes the first fully social publishing platform
giving
consumers all the tools needed to create dynamic,
interactive websites

(Seattle, Wash. - March 10, 2008) Wetpaint, the leading
social
publishing platform with a network of over 750,000 social
sites, today
unveiled a complete set of social networking features to
supercharge
creation of content on its award-winning wiki service that
now unifies
the two things people love to do online - socialize and
share content
with others.With the addition of such new features as a
Friends Network,
Custom Member Profiles, a What*s New site activity dashboard
and
Friends Feeds, Wetpaint has created the first truly
integrated social
publishing platform, empowering anyone to easily create a
completely
social and collaborative website.

[snip]

By fusing its best-in-class publishing tools with social
networking
features that increase user connection and communication,
Wetpaint sites
provide the ideal environment for anyone to quickly and
easily create a
website that flourishes with interaction, discussion and
collaboration,
resulting in rich content that attracts new members and
bigger
audiences."
