So I got an email from WetPaint today. It’s a typical website newsletter, but it starts with an appeal to my ego:
I got to the end of the second paragraph and had to do a double take:
Yeah, lemme get right on that. Before one of those other Damian Bariexcas ganks it on me.
This post was brought to you by FireDoodle, the Firefox add-on that turns your browser into a whiteboard.
Well, if nothing else, their email to YOU inspired ME to create a wiki at wetpaint 🙂 You’re a good marketer, LOL!
D’oh! If I was shilling for anybody in this post, it was Firedoodle! A failure is me.
Hilarious! Thanks for brightening up my Thursday morning 🙂
Update – I don’t like the wetpaint wiki – TONS and tons of ads, not cool for what I’m doing with it. I did notice firedoodle, but can’t take advantage of on my school computer 🙂
I’m not sure you have to worry about the domain being taken. Thanks for the FireDoodle tip though!
Thanks for the fireDoodle tip.
Update – You can request an ad-free wiki from wetpaint. You just need to email them a request as an educator. When I did this it was pretty quick.
I like it becuase you can add a discussion thread to each of your pages. I find that very useful and I also think the “look” of it is a bit more web page and a bit less wiki.
What I hate about it – it doesn’t always play nice with IE and that is all we are allowed to have on our school computers (sniff, sniff).
