Wiki is the format of the future and will eventually displace HTML as primary mark-up language. Interesting things are happening in the Wiki space. I’ve mentioned Citizendium. Here are five more wikis that have recently caught my attention.
- ZineWiki – the history and culture of zines, independent media and the small press.
- Much needed, a very interesting wiki on zines and small press publications, with however notable omissions such as London Oz and Sleazoid Express.
- Zappa Wiki
- All things Zappa
- Big Tits – Boobpedia
- Spanking Art
- BiblioCuriosa
One can clearly see from the last three examples that the diffusion of new technologies and new media always travels the viral path of sex. In the words of Gerard Van Der Leun, writing in 1993 for Wire magazine:
“Sex, as we know, is a heat-seeking missile that forever seeks out the newest medium for its transmission.”
P. S. The waiting – of course – is still for a good bliki platform.
