Pbworks - A Wiki Experience



So, today in our Visual Communications: Culture and Creativity lecture, we came accross a new cool and innovative idea (that many of you will think I've been living under a rock for not knowing about this sooner, but I shall boast about it anyway...)

We learned how to work a 'pbworks' page, which basically allows you and a group of friends to edit, save and link a page to whatever you want it to be. there's loads of videos on youtube and everywhere, about how helpful this thingy is. I think it's nifty. One cool thing about it is, you can 'steal lock'. Which basically means, you can lock someone out of saving their contribution to the page, whilst you're editing it. Meaning, whatever someone is writing won't be able to save, and resulting in them being annoyed...huzzah! But apparently it's a bad thing, I do not share the same view. 

It's a cool page where you and your friends can arrange things, and all edit at the same time, whilst not being in the same location. It's handy and I shall use it a lot now. :D
