Spot on, Jot
Thursday, July 27th, 2006
I am not a great fan of wikis but Jot Spot with it’s semi-structured style works well. It has the usual free-style wiki pages that let you enter text, links, formatting and so on but throws in the ability to create structured pages such as calendars, photo galleries, file “cabinets” and spreadsheets.
The spreadsheets are especially interesting. Create a spreadsheet with address details and you can view a map that plots the address and related data on a Google Maps like world map. Put dates into your spreadsheet and you can view a calendar which automatically displays events in the calendar pulled from the spreadsheet. This is something that other spreadsheet developers could emulate.
Jot Spot wikis also have a dash of style to them, something most wiki systems lack. Jot Spot has a clean look without the usual wiki clutter and lends itself towards non-techies.
Pricing is a bit much in my opinion but all in all, a really good, hosted wiki solution.
