The Twitter Fan Wiki is a sweet wiki'd place for tweeters.
In experimenting with Twitter this week, I was glad to find the Twitter Fan Wiki on PBWiki. It is a neat wiki'd place for both new and experienced Twitter users. On the wiki you can view and post events, groups, and feature requests. You can learn about neat Apps and Bots available for Twitter users. There is also some geeky stuff, like Scripts and Mashups. The Newbies Corner has links to a helpful etiquette guide and a glossary for the jargon of this experience. Although small (with less than 100 pages) it seems to be a tweet place for tweeters, a twittastic wiki'd place with a twittionary with twexplanations so twewbies like me and other twitteritas won't be tweetards and will avoid twoops and mistweeks. If you are new to Twitter or want to share your expertise, visit the Twitter Fan Wiki.
Today's wiki-of-the-day is Jericho Wiki, the highly acclaimed wiki for CBS' tv show Jericho.
I've been a fan of the show Jericho from the beginning. Like most of the fans I thought that it was nuts to cancel the show. I just hate it when you invest your time in a show and then it is suddenly canceled. We were all left sitting at the edge of our chairs wondering what would happen next and how things would resolve. The fans took a stand to voice their disappointment. I also signed the online petition to bring it back. Many fans took an extra step. There was a coordinated effort where CBS executives were sent nuts in protest of their decision. Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, described the fans' efforts as "an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion" in her note to the fans posted on the CBS wiki fan site. As a result of the fan response, CBS ordered seven more episodes that will begin to air tonight. Ms Tassler thanked the fans for their expression of support for Jericho in such an extraordinary manner. Further, she described the protest as "creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone." The fans made the difference in the decision by CBS.
Although it has been demonstrated that the show has a loyal and passionate community, it needs to grow. Here's my effort to recruit new viewers. Give the show a chance. Ater all, many of the other shows are still running re-runs due to the writer's strike. Plus, aren't you tired of all the reality and game shows on tv these days? Why watch all those re-runs when you can watch full episodes of Jericho's season one online. Now that season two has begun, why not visit the Jericho wiki on Wetpaint? The site is actually an Emmy finalist for Outstanding Creative Achievement for Interactive Television.
There are many Save Jericho Fan videos posted on YouTube. Several are featured on the Jericho wiki. Here's a neat video with 100 Reasons to watch Jericho:
CBS Video archive, with a video of the cast and crew saying "Thank You" to the fans and eating those nuts. Plus, there are several sneak peek videos for Season 2. The official CBS Jericho site
Today, I hope that you will be joining me in watching the season two premiere on CBS. CBS has promised on its website "It's going to be nuts."
There are a lot of wiki fan sites on the Web. Since The Amazing Race concluded this week, I decided to take a look at its fansite. The official Amazing Race fansite wiki on Wetpaint offers episode summaries, video clips, polls, online chat, and trivia. Have you ever wondered about what's up with prior race contestants? There's a spot on the wiki for those details too. There is a section called My Amazing Race where the community members can post interesting information about their hometowns in case the contestants zip through their town. Members can post details about their own amazing trips on the site too. This fan site has over 5,100 community members and twelve members with moderator and higher authority.
What more I hoped to see. I saw a page with a link to the CBS webpage for information on how to apply for the race. It also had a spot for visitors to post their application videos on the wiki to show other fans. However, there was only one video posted on the page. I checked YouTube and found a lot of videos posted at that site. I also found another site on the Web with some general hints about applying as a contestant. I guess I was just hoping to see a bit more about the applicants and that process.
Welcome to my blog.
Everyday is a gift and worthy of celebration. I enjoy blogging and hope that you visit my blogs on celebrating life, cake decorating with cut-up cake patterns (that I created), opinion research, making wikis, and wiki'd places to visit on the web. Hopefully you'll find something that interests, amuses, or informs you. Brighten my day: post a comment and share this blog!
