PBwiki Quotes
"I'm using your site to really hone in technology AND education with my teachers and it has SUCH merit" -- Cindy Lane, Educator
"It is a safe and engaging way to increase the interest of my students in ANY subject matter. Students of all levels can be successful demonstrating their knowledge. Students are eager to read their classmates entries and work collaboratively to enhance the learning of the entire class. As an educator, I find this to be a very exciting tool!" -- Amy Stammerjohn, Educator
"Probably my favorite use of PBWiki though was working with the Spirit of America foundation to put up guides on blogging anonymously in 5 languages, for bloggers living under repressive governments. That’s at http://blogsafer.org
Someone else compiled and translated the guides then we put it up in a wiki so that as government tactics changed, people could change the guides accordingly. There are about 40 people subscribed to the recent changes RSS feed for that wiki to make sure the site doesn’t get vandalized. PBWiki was great for putting up text in other languages, including ones read right-to-left." -- Marshall Kirkpatrick
About PBwiki
-or-
PBwiki is the world's largest consumer wiki farm, co-founded by 3 Stanford grads ('99, '00, '04). Our motto is: Make a free wiki as easily as a peanut butter sandwich. 48 hours after we launched, we hosted over 1,000 wikis. Today we host well over 150,000 wikis and millions of users every month. We host classroom wikis, business wikis, personal wikis, and wikis for just about anything you can imagine.
Our small team has big resources. We've just raised $2 million from Mohr Davidow Ventures to make our wikis much more awesome. Over the last couple of months, we've been featured on TechCrunch.com (“PBwiki is on a bit of a roll,” Michael Arrington said), Valleywag.com, VentureBeat, Red Herring and hundreds of other sources.
