SnipSnap Gander

SnipSnap is a pretty cool blogging system. It's a blog/wiki combination. You can blog, but then anywhere you blog you can put a word into brackets if you want a wiki about that topic, like about [Beethoven]. Then when you (or anyone) clicks on that link, they can view a new page that is editable by anyone. Within that wiki you can make new wikis just by putting more words in [brackets], which the system understands as a new entry to a wiki.

But the wiki features itself aren't that advanced yet - no snazzy revision diffs - and the blogging system is inferior to most other blogging systems. Really it's just the integration it has going for it right now. Pretty neat but I'd rather figure out how to get a wiki system integrated into another blogging system.

Still gotta find out the most advanced wiki system. twiki is in there but it's perl and it seems slow. Posted by Curt at January 9, 2003 07:14 PM
