Make Your Voices Heard on Wired
Wired journalist Ryan Singel recently created a story about wikis with the intention of seeing how citizen journalism will help shape the article. Seems as if many of the wiki vendors have been the first ones to notice the opportunity, but since it’s a community effort we thought we’d put the idea to our blog […]
A Better Way to Sell Software?
In the San Francisco office we all take turns answer the phones partly because we don’t have a receptionist and partly because it’s incredibly valuable for everyone to talk to customers and people evaluating our software. I’ve had some really interesting conversations with customers about how they’re using our products, what they like and don’t […]

Confluence for Non-Profit
From the Sacramento Java Users Group blog: At the last SACJUG meeting we debated over what wiki/content management system to use and eventually settled on Confluence. The feeling was as a java users group we needed to use a Java based tool. I volunteered to see if they’d grant a license since my company is […]
Running Confluence automatically on OS X
We keep all our household information in Confluence (bills, expenses, etc.), so the system needs to be available at all times to both of us on the network. Confluence got personal with the release of Confluence 2.2. That release gave each user expanded capabilities for creating personal spaces. But here’s a cool blog about using […]
Confluence vs. Basecamp
Comparing Confluence with Basecamp is interesting because, as the blogger points out, while the two product’s features overlap somewhat, they really serve two different needs. MediaWiki and Twiki are also mentioned in this review that can be found on Code Intensity: Confluence is a superb wiki! I’ve used several other wikis over the last year […]
