Wiki-based Publishing Platform by Wikidot.com Now Available

Michal Frackowiak, 28-year old Polish Web developer, PhD student and Wikidot.com founder announces the availability of a new “Web 2.0” project -- a Wiki-based publishing platform and social network aimed mainly at advanced Internet users, content publishers and broadcasters

August 21, 2006 – (TopHosts News Brief) — Wikidot.com, a new “Web 2.0” project founded by open source activist Michal Frackowiak, is now available.

Wikidot.com is a new Wiki-based publishing platform and social network aimed mainly at advanced Internet users, content publishers and broadcasters. The new service provides many free features and options that should attract those who search for a decent Wiki hosting and should make the “Wiki” philosophy worth learning.

“We not only want to allow everyone to create a professional, interactive, fully-featured and independent Wiki website,” Frackowiak said in a PR Web release. “We want to build a social network of users running their own sites. This distinguishes us from most Wiki or blog providers and takes us closer to social services like MySpace”.

According to Frackowiak, the main idea behind Wikidot.com is not to limit creativity. “We try not to tell people what they should do nor what they should write about. They are free to do anything as long as it is legal and complies with our policies,” he said. “Topics of existing sites include personal homepages, hobby sites, personal workspaces, growing community places, academic projects and software development pages.”
