And, yeah, Spam Karma 2 absofreaking rocks. I wish it was available for MediaWiki as well…

Alan,

If you know of any other links to wikis in education, please let me know. I am writing a series on best practices in wiki-based collaboration. Many thanks!

The “idiots” are not so dumb. The more they can get links inserted into more web sites, the more some companies will pay to get a higher Google Rank. They pay thousands for a top 10 rank

Phuong has been hanging around my blog lately, but it has been getting past my gatekeeper question about the colour of lemons. How does that happen?
