Google does a wiki dance

by Tom Sanders

01 Nov 2006

Google has acquired Jotspot, a commercial Wiki provider that focuses on the corporate market. The software provides an online collaboration platform. Wikis have Wikipedia as their prime example.

Following the acquisition, Google dropped the subscription fees.

Google not having a wiki was like a drunk without a bottle. Both have elevated collaboration and data sharing to a religion. Google could actually benefit from integrating the wiki software with its Google Code service that offers to host open source projects.
