WikalongExtension
Nov 23, 2004
It's getting harder and harder to stay out in front in this business. I found out about Wikalong Saturday night at the Firefox 1.0 launch party in Vancouver but forgot to include it in yesterday's newsletter (I blame jet lag). Wouldn't you know that Derek Morrison of Auricle has an item on it today. Anyhow: "Wikalong is a FirefoxExtension that embeds a wiki in the SideBar of your browser, indexed off the url of your current page. It is probably most simply described as a wiki-margin for the internet." Simple technology, but with a potentially groundbreaking impact. Hard to say - it could just as easily end up as a mire of defacement and grafitti (which is how it started Saturday night). It installs with a push of a button in Firefox; to turn it on, select View-Sidebar-Wikalong (or ctl-shift-L).
